the Colorado is important to the region's water managers.

"Water managers rely on wet years to refill reservoirs," he said.

And there is the problem. Relying on "wet years" is nothing more than
someone who lives paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to keep a step ahead of
disaster.

The so-called water 'managers' are charlatans and should be fired posthaste.

The history of western water availability CLEARLY SHOWS that you CAN'T
rely on wet years to refill reservoirs -- there MUST be alternative and
reliable sources.

It really doesn't matter if current droughts are caused by or
exercerbated by (A)GW. The water 'managers' are negligent in their
duties, their policies are flawed, and the results are finally being
manifest. In typical style, they choose to blame someone or something else.

Time to look inside and clean the vessel.
