Opinion: Breaking down ‘grocery bliss’ might be key to winning Calif.’s fight for water storage
Friant Water Authority Chief Operating Officer Johnny Amaral spoke with The Sun for an upcoming episode of Sunrise FM to discuss the lack of necessary water storage in California, among many other issues. … While simply raising Shasta Dam by 18.5 feet would provide an additional 634,000 acre-feet of water storage capacity, gathering enough support for the project could feel seemingly impossible at times. There’s one project, however, that Amaral thinks could possibly stand a chance: Sites Reservoir – an off-stream storage project that would not dam a river. Water would be pumped in and out at need.
