Colonel Cancer posted:Nah man clearly it's LIBERALS spending all the money on illegal immigrants, mosques, homosexual agenda and weed smoking good for nothing hippies instead of infrastructure. Just read twitter! Hate to tell you but Liberals are literally Republicans now, the only difference is Liberals latch on to whatever the perceived populist narrative is at the time. edit: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/feb/15/whos-blame-flint-water-crisis/

Waters not special. It should obey the law, just like everyone else.

I thought they had an extreme water shortage, you would think they could find places where the water could go if they had ran out.

I think it was never or poorly maintained and the recent storms has lead it to being very full. so now we are using backup runoff paths to make the dam less full but those are also poorly maintained and we still have too much water anyways. and its going to storm starting wednesday. Could have been prevented id imagine but you cant expect the us government to spend money on infrastructure when we could spend that money on the military

PyPy posted:So what is the deal with this dam? Has their been too much rain and it is overflowing? Or is the dam just broken? Both, actually. The main spillway was ID'd many years ago as being susceptible to breakage under heavy water discharges, but dam officials handwaved the possible danger away because heavy outflows are rare. Same basic thing with the auxiliary spillway, it's never been used and the people in charge figured it never would be. It's just a concrete cap over a hilltop. But in fairness, the reservoir was a giant brown hole with a piss-trickle of water in it as recently as 18 months ago, legions of climatologists, hydrologists, etc claimed it would take years to refill after this drought, etc. etc. Personally, I knew it was all bullshit because I'm old and remember the 1976-1980 drought very well(my family had a well that went dry and I spent two years showering with buckets of cold water), and the 'experts' said the same inane poo poo. Cue the monster winter of '81-82, and magically all reservoirs filled up. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, yadda yadda yadda.

This was the lake in 2015 A lot of people said that after el nino were supposed to get a drier winter afterwards as well. I'm not sure why that didn't happen though.

I'm glad the infrastructure wake up call has only resulted in the indefinite evacuation of 200,000 people instead of a few cities being destroyed. Hooray? I suppose we're not clear until Summer for that 2nd part.

Moridin920 posted:We're building a poo poo ton of water infrastructure fucknut, what is your dumbo state doing? Too little too late, but that's water over the dam now. We're good here, aside from the state wasting the federal funding for broadband years ago, so many places are SOL on proper internet access. Namaste moridin, I lived in CA for a while, every state is hosed, but the powers that be there are inept.

Edgar Allan Pwned posted:Is infrastructure a federal issue or a state issue depends, but typically state or some sub-state jurisdiction set up for that infrastructure. this dam is the responsibility of the state of california water management department or something iirc if the river crossed state lines then the federal government would be involved. the dam near me is owned by the us army corps of engineers who is sort of the official us federal government civil works and infrastructure division for anything that isn't specifically transportation related

Everywhere has its problems but again if we didn't have to lose so much tax money to dickhead states like Kansas we'd have more money to fix our infrastructure. Besides there's probably dams and bridges all over the country on the verge of collapse, it's not just CA. We're all in this ride to 3rd world status together.

EugeneJ posted:I was thinking to myself "Sacramento is far away from the dam", but then I googled its elevation and Sacramento is 30 feet above sea level Sac proper floods real bad every 30 years or so, regardless of the dam, and it is mystifying why anyone would live there. The eastern suburbs are in foothills and are closer to Tahoe, and that's where you want to be. If Sac floods out this time I'm not sure why it should be rebuilt in its current location.
