Calif. Water Shortage To Be Bad

[Ron61]

This is just a short excerpt from the Bureaus report as it is way to long and boring to type, so I will just put in the high spots.

Dry California's Water shortage Reaches North.:

The North state is the Saudi Arabia of water, but even our pipes can cough and sputter in a dry year and 2008 is turning out parched.
Lake Shasta won't even reach 2/3rds of capacity. water deliveries are being slashed to farmers and Municipal Users. The Bureau cut supplies of city water to 75% of normal. More cuts may and most likely will follow when the hot weather gets here. Shasta county is now considering declaring water shortages in 4 areas already.
We have had 4 small fires already but none of them managed to get into the canyons and trees, so everyone is holding their breaths about that. This looks as if it could be a devastating Summer for the North State as well as several other areas. Will anyone that plans to visit Northern Calif. this year please bring along a barrel of water?
