Shocking new reports indicate that over the past several weeks, the California State Water Board has routed at least 90 percent of Delta inflow right into the sea, leaving farmers with no water to grow their crops.

"It's equal to a year's supply of water for 1 million people," tweeted Central Valley farmer Kristi Diener, along with the hashtag "#ManMadeDrought."

While California's reservoirs are designed to hold up to five years' worth of fresh water for the state's water needs – and had been filled to capacity back in June 2019 – the state's water overseers are now flushing all that water down the toilet, essentially.

According to Diener, who is both a farmer and a water expert, fresh water is being unnecessarily dumped from California's reservoirs at a time when it is most needed, which bodes ominous for the coming summer season.
