Newsom pushing to lay the groundwork for the project before his term expires and state water regulators considering whether to grant a key authorization. latimes.com/environment/story/ #CAwater

The end of California’s storm season has brought more fresh snow to the Sierra Nevada, pushing the snowpack to 96% of average. The near-average snowpack has given the state a third straight year of ample water supplies in the mountains — something that hasn’t happened since 1998-2000. latimes.com/environment/story/ #CAwater

After today's cold system departs, spring will begin in earnest across California w/much drier & warmer conditions on horizon. In fact, at the moment, ensembles are hinting at a major and perhaps even record-breaking early-season heat event in ~10 days. Stay tuned. #CAwx #CAwater

The Water Board will be meeting on Monday on Zoom for input on whether to move forward with the disastrous plan—and we need as many people as possible to show up to oppose it.

Help us get the word out about why this destructive, wasteful project must be stopped!
