I was at lopez for this last weekand and it has gone down like 5 or 10 more feet. It did rain but it didn't fill the lake up much....

So you're getting a ramp extension, so might be open in the near future, although some rumors going around that even then, it won't open up to private boat launching.

California doesn't receive enough blame for not solving the problem.  Special interest groups in the state have blocked (or at least created hardships to create) new reservoirs & desalinization plants. 

 

 

 

Those special interest groups would rather spend 98.5B on a bullet train from LA to SF then build or repair reservoirs and do something about the water main infrastructure in LA.  No politics I know, but the river my grandfather taught me to fish on is running @ 230cfs when it should be 800-900cfs and the lake I fish will be a puddle by the end of this summer.  Makes me sad that I likley won't be able to teach my grand kids the joys of fishing in California . 

Mulholland completed Owens River aqueduct in 1915, started the Colorado River aqueduct that was completed in 1941, the Feather River project was started by Pat Brown, completed in 1968, nothing has been built since to increase water supply to SoCal. The population since 1968 has more than doubled. The old water supply system hasn't been overhauled, pipes inspected for leakage, only repaired when it breaks. The canals have been relinnned to reduce leakage, should have been covered to prevent evaporation.

No leadership with the exception to reduce household usage, who use about 16% of the total water.

It will rain, it always does about every 10-15 year El Niño cycles, then it floods, the lakes fill, the underground water Aquifer remains low from pumping... Our lakes should refill in a few years and go down agian, nothing changes. The history of California water supply is interesting and started during the gold rush era 1849.
