And Lake Powell is almost at a point where the dam which holds it's water is not able to generate electricity.

Now, if the braindead in CA could pull their collective heads from their butt, they would stop dumping billions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean every year and let it flow back down to Lake Meade...

But the "Snail Darter & Delta Smelt" might be harmed...

Lake Mead is above sea level and Pacific Ocean is at sea level. Explain how water can flow back down (acutally up) to Lake Meade. At this time water the amount of water that does reach the Pacific Ocean has been greatly diminished due to light swowfalls over past several years.

CA has these things called mountains... They are typically ABOVE sea level. Water tends to flow downhill from said mountains...

Water has the ability to flow to many different places BEFORE it reaches sea level...

If CA managed it's own water flow better, they wouldn't be using so much water from Lake Meade... Their own reservoirs are at 35%-55% capacity...
