They're just letting it flow out into the sea?!? Is this that Delta Smelt enviro-whacko thing again?

Well, doggone it, they're smarter than the people who understood reservoirs retain water for dry years. They have PhDs.

They drained huge amounts of water to the sea to "protect the river wildlife"...
Another factor is they haven't maintained their reservoirs and were afraid it they had another wet year they'd fail. So the made room for what didn't come.
I also believe they've taken out reservoirs to return rivers to their "natural state" at the behest of environmentalists.
The Urban areas have the votes so the farmers and ranchers take the short end of the deal, over and over.
California is on the fast track to destruction.

Yep, that's exactly what that article that @Skull posted said. There's never any accountability for these crazy policies. We have an open loop control system.
