Newsom warns that California’s water system may be ill-prepared to cope with hotter, drier future

The Hill's Headlines — June 24, 2025
California’s existing groundwater infrastructure may fail to quench the state’s thirst in an increasingly arid future, even as officials celebrate widespread conservation achievements, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) warned on Tuesday.

“The data doesn’t lie, and it is telling us that our water system is unprepared for California’s hotter and drier climate,” Newsom said in a statement.
 
The governor was referring to data published in a semiannual report by the California Department of Water Resources that morning. The report, which indicated California is collecting more groundwater data than ever before, showed a 2.2 million acre-foot increase in storage last year.

Nonetheless, the governor’s office stressed that the Golden State still lacks adequate water infrastructure to provide Californians with the resources they will need in future projected climate conditions.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I've got news for ol' Gav.  Paying for an improved water system and illegals at the same time isn't going to work.  I assume that is why he's done nothing about it for the years he's been in office.

So his solution is spending millions to fight Trump, and to raise gasoline taxes for illegal care?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Let them eat Snail Darters!

Tear out your Dams, fail to fill the reservoirs you DO have, let the rainwater rush out to sea.

And then have a water shortage.

Another self-inflicted wound exacerbated by chronic mismanagement.

When humans, and not just humans, but citizens come first, California will take the first step toward solving its problems.

No amount of money thrown at those problems will solve them otherwise.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
