Army Corps’ wasted Calif. water flows amount to a ‘drop in the bucket’
President Donald Trump returned Sunday to touting the recent release of billions of gallons of water from two federally operated dams in California’s Central Valley — even as experts said it will produce no benefits for wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles and make little difference to farmers. Estimates provided by the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonpartisan think tank, show the Army Corps of Engineers released approximately 6,300 acre-feet of water following Trump’s demands late last month. The Army Corps did not respond to requests for exact data on the flows.
