“For the better part of for the majority of the life of the major water projects in California–when I say water project projects, I mean, the state of California owns a owns and operates a water system in California that moves water from the north to the south, as does the federal government. For the better part of the lifespan of both of those projects, everything worked fine. And it was regardless of hydrology, regardless of rainfall and snowpack. The system worked as it was designed to work. And by the way, I would remind your listeners that these systems were built in California with the understanding that we go through these periods of drought followed by periods of abundant rainfall and snowpack, that’s been California’s history.” — Johnny Amaral, Friant Water Authority – Tulare County, CA
