Lake Lanier presents conflicts with GA-AL-FL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-state_water_disputeGood thing about California is impoundments would be catchments within the state before exiting to ocean. Impounded water crossing state lines causes issues. Lake Mead still a concern.

Broom ....broom Uh oh Pelosi, Boxer, Waters and Feinstein have got to be in the house. The batsh*t crazy flight squadron of Commiefornia has arrived again. Have all y'all seen Pelosi talk lately. Man, there is something bad wrong with that gal. Her brain engine is like running on one cylinder. She can't even keep track of who's president. Aye God, it's a positive delight watching the Dumbocrats melt down. I make sure to watch news with my breakfast everyday so I can start my day watching libs crying. " I Love the smell of liberal tears in the morning! It smells like victory!" *L*.....Mel

Totally inconceivable that these yahoos could still want to impose strict regs regarding water use...
But, ya know, they know what is best for us - Right? Right? (NFH, lol)

OROVILLE, Butte County — Butte County officials ordered residents in low-lying areas of Oroville to immediately evacuate on Sunday afternoon due to a “hazardous situation” with the Oroville Dam emergency spillway.
The Butte County Sheriff’s Office said a failure of the spillway may cause “uncontrolled release” of flood waters from Lake Oroville.
The state Department of Water Resources did not elaborate on the emergency, but said just before 4:45 p.m. that the “auxiliary spillway at the dam was predicted to fail within the hour.”

Oroville Dam faces another risk: Earthquakes from rapid rise in water level: The crisis over the last few weeks at Oroville Dam was about how to handle large amounts of water flowing into the lake with both of the reservoir’s spillways damaged. But there also was a seismic angle to the story. As Lake Oroville swung from being at 41% of capacity to 101% in just two months, scientists are asking whether the filling of the reservoir at the fastest rate in at least a generation can produce a damaging earthquake. No one knows for certain, but the question has been a source of debate since shortly after the nation’s tallest dam was built, and a magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred that some believe was related to an unprecedented lowering and rise of reservoir levels. Moreover, two microearthquakes were detected last month soon after Lake Oroville began rushing over its emergency spillway. About a day and a half after officials ordered mass evacuations of more than 100,000 people downstream of Oroville Dam — fearing the collapse of a hillside eroded by the overflowing lake — two tiny temblors were recorded. They struck in the early hours of Valentine’s Day, just before 3 a.m.: a magnitude 0.8, and then a 1.0 Those earthquakes were so small a human wouldn’t be able to feel them at the surface. But given how close they were to the dam, and the relationship between some man .-made reservoirs and earthquakes, researchers gave the temblors special attention. “It’s obviously something that needs to be carefully monitored,” U.S. Geological Survey research geophysicist Justin Rubinstein said of the need to carefully monitor dam sites for human-triggered earthquakes. “But in general, when you see seismicity induced by reservoirs, it’s generally sort of in the beginning of the lifetime of the dam,” Rubinstein said. www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-oroville-earthquake-20170302-story.html
