Lake Orville out of water?

[motormonkey]

Saw on news it's below power generating level and lowest since being filled in 77. They say it produced power for 80,000 homes. Wasn't it full a couple months ago?
Having skied that lake a couple times I'm shocked due to the size of it. Damn.

Lake level fell below the penstocks water intake for the generators. Walker lake in NorCal is completely empty.

The damn politicians failed by selling off the water in a drought year, the dam is fine...

 

[HALLETT BOY]

It’s ok , solar , wind and unicorns will take care of it …

 

[ATKpilot]

Just watched this yesterday, a little long but interesting

 

[Backlash]

Yet, there is lake in the middle of the Las Vegas desert pulling water from Lake Mead that is filled to the brim! Priorities folks!!

 

[hallett3]

Let’s build a high speed train. That’s more important than water. Fix the water system. Dumb fucks that run California.

I saw a recent news cast of the locals questioning why the Feather river has been WAY above normal running level all summer as well as washing away parkland and (imported)beaches along the route.....
.
Definitely something fishy going on there.

7 months into a Lib government and climate change has drained all the lakes and wildfires are out of control all over the world.

When there is no valid proof of your cause you create it. LOL Co2 Co2!

 

[Booshy]

Lower river has been super high for along time now. There is a couple threads talking about this. Sounds like there releasing water to spit others.. political and poor management happening in front of our faces..

Don't question ANYTHING, just fall in line & do what the government says is best for u......

Lmao. Yep. Unicorns. Dnt forget the stupid ass battery storage shit. Bring back coal!!!

Plus we don't grab enough rain water when it does rain. Our idiot governor wants to pay everyone's delinquent rent but can't build any new reservoirs or power plants. smh again.

Thanks for posting that, very informative and pretty shocking.

 

[Desert Whaler]

Perfect time of year to not be generating power . . . nobody is using electricity in August /September . . .

 

[grumpy88]

Dont forget to plug in your cars too !

 

[4Waters]

The reservoirs should have been built years ago. To bad Arnold didn’t build them when he was in office.

One Republican governor in 20 years and it's his fault. Dumbass

 

[4Waters]

Never said it was his fault midget or that he was a republican. Just saying it takes time to build reservoirs. Blaming Newsom is being a dumbass.. Lol

You obviously have seen me and know that I am not 6', why didn't you announce yourself? Scared little bitch?

 

[Desert Whaler]

. . . so meanwhile back in Oroville . . .

STFU. This could get good!

Sad but great video. That dude knows his chit!

 

[Wedgy]

This is nothing new. Just seems to be SOP everywhere now.

Up in Redding we'd see this shitshow every year. Why are we not surprised...

 

[RiverDave]

Weird how A couple years ago that lake was overflowing that’s a damn is going to fail. Somehow they pumped all that water out to sea And yet again we find ourselves in a drought. Thank you democrats! You literally did just fuck up a wet dream

…Just watched half of the video… That was done by Juan Brown who lives in grass Valley… I highly recommend that you subscribe to his YouTube channel which is the…Blancolirio… channel on YouTube…
…If you want well-thought-out truth about anything up that way…he’s the guy that is on it… …Juan Brown is a lead pilot for American Airlines…

It's all in the plan . The big lie continues .

Ditto on Juan Brown,, Blancolirio. One of the unique on the ground, and in the air reporters, providing Truth and actual conditions in Our beloved, but led astray California.

…My view looking down on Oroville Dam for 21 years… definitely have never seen it as low as it is now…

Same observation i've had with the Colorado river below Davis Dam. Dumping max flow day and night Starting in February into May. 24/7 like i've never seen it. And Mead is low...

is this a recent pic ? area doesn't look burnt and tule fog in the valley.

All the reservoirs in NorCal are all getting really low. If we don’t get some rain this coming winter we are all in trouble.

That's exactly what they want to you to believe..... They are wasting water like they waste tax dollars. Just different currency

 

[PaPaG]

And he was a RINO at that...DEMS have destroyed Cali and anyone that can't or refuses to see that is either blind or ignorant. Sorry to offend but the truth hurts.

 

[DaveC]

Sorry didn’t have time to discuss all the water that’s been dumped out of these reservoirs though their own spillways.

But ya, wasted.

These pictures were taken last Thursday at Lake McClure reservoir, it is extremely low. Oddly Lake McSwain which is directly below McClure is full but it is called an "after bay" rather than a reservoir. Right down the road is Lake Don Pedro, which I have been going to since I was a kid (long time) is about as low as I have ever seen it. There are cars parked on the little island that is usually covered with water or barely peaking through...never seen that before

McClure Reservoir

Don Pedro Lake

 

[nowski]

Control the water, control the people. Looks evident to me...

 

[Mandelon]

The water goes to the ocean to keep the salt water from coming up into the rivers? Don't the fish just swim up a bit if it get too salty?

It sure seems like they are manufacturing a crises to tax us more.

… not a recent picture… Might even be 10 years old???…

 

[spectra3279]

This comet came crashing into the earth. BAM! Total devastation. No celebrities, no cable TV, *no water*! It hasn't rained in 11 years. Now, 20 people gotta squeeze into the same bathtub. So it ain't all bad.

Tank girl.

If they don't stop miss managing the water we are all in trouble!

Next year is gonna be real interesting. If we don’t get some rain we will have mud puddles left.

… loafer creek is where I would launch 99% of the time… looking pretty grim up there…

 

[Willie B]

…A shot from my property when the lake would’ve actually been considered fairly low… No real clue as to how old is this photo is… maybe seven or eight years ago???…

 

[dread Pirate]

With all the government is fucking up left out,,,,
I have never seen my watershed this dry. The main spring that feeds my house typically would put out 1000-2000 gallons a day late summer. I'm barely getting 150 gallons a day right now. We have the two lower springs as backup, but I'm running water pumps daily..

 

[Willie B]

…Couple more view of the loafer Creek launch ramp at Oroville… Obviously this is when there was some water in the lake… with the water at this level it would be about a mile before you would get out of the 5 mile an hour zone…
