Which - to be clear - Tulare County is not a part of. While it's in the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley, that doesn't make it part of Southern California. The dividing line is around the Tehachapi Mountains.
Water released from these reservoirs would end up flowing northwards in the San Joaquin River, and eventually out to sea in the Sacramento Delta. It wouldn't do anything to help fight fires in Los Angeles; it's in entirely the wrong place for that.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoThat's not quite correct. The California aqueduct is able to transport water from the delta down to LA by pumping it over the mountains. This is only a technicality though because even though the system includes the largest pumps in the world, it's still relatively small compared to a natural waterway at full capacity and it's already running.
- labster 2y agoHeh, everyone has a different no idea of the line between SoCal and NorCal. I saw a talk someone from ESRI who did a survey of Californians on where the line is. The only hard and fast rule is that “nobody wants Hanford”, apparently. But your line is one of the more southern ones, since most people include Bakersfield in SoCal.
