Last month, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency and announced a new $5.1 billion "water infrastructure and drought response" spending package. The US Bureau of Reclamation reported in May that the 2021 water year for the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin is currently the driest since 1977, but the year is only half over.

While California is having a dry year, California has been dumping TRILLIONS of gallons of freshwater into the oceans in recent years to protect a non-endangered bait fish called the Delta Smelt. A Central Valley Farmer said, "Our reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users, and were filled to the top in June 2019." She said that by emptying reservoirs, California is on track to have a man-made drought crisis every time there is a dry season.

"The 2021 water year for the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin is currently the driest since 1977," the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation warned in May.

Additionally, all residents are being asked to conserve their water consumption.

In recent years, California has been dumping TRILLIONS of gallons of freshwater into the oceans to protect a non-endangered bait fish called the Delta Smelt.
