Stop in for a cup of coffee

Nearby dam here, flood control mostly, has to release water every spring until the water reaches a certain point in the dry riverbed downstream. For maintenance of the ground water levels. Not very often does the water ever get to the sea. Yet Fish and Game would test the quarry for Steelhead Trout accessibility :lol:
It’s all just odd. I’m not a tinfoil conspiracy theory but why are they so insistent on destroying the dams that have been in place for decades and the aquifers people rely on? We’ve never had water problems in this area even in severe droughts and now we do. Makes no sense.
