3 Obstacles. 1 Water Pipeline

California’s Governor Jerry Brown has proposed water tunnels to move water from the wet areas of the state to Los Angeles, where the populations resides. There have been obstacles, lots of obstacles. Let’s look at 3 of the obstacles:

• Federal Government. Part of the tunnel system will be built by a federal water project, the federal Central Valley Project. The feds have different ideas and requirements for fudning and buiulding.
• Taxpayer support to pay for the tunnels is nonexistent.
• Local Water Districts are not on board. Its said the Westlands Water District, a major farm irrigator in the San Joaquin Valley, stunned California’s water community by being opposed to paying for the benefits the tunnel may bring its farmers.
