Comments on: State Senator Hurtado Introduces Legislation to Dissolve the State Water Control Board https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2022/02/17/state-senator-hurtado-introduces-legislation-to-dissolve-the-state-water-control-board/ In-depth, locally-produced coverage of the Central Valley.

A new water project is needed to bring water in from out of state. California is one of a half dozen or so places in the world capable of producing food as it can. If we are the "United States", let's start acting like it and work together to solve this problem. There is more than enough water to the north that can be tapped without adverse environmental impact. It is time for all of us to grow up and work together. For those of you who say it is too expensive, I say look at the Romans. They brought 200,000,000 gallons/day of high-quality mountain drinking water into Rome 2,000 years ago. If our leadership can't do something similar with all the modern technology and machinery available, maybe they should find other employment.
