The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.
Huh I’m surprised that an LA newspaper would cater to Trump, but it was the first article I found that seemed to have a lot of information (or maybe they’ve changed the page since I linked it?). Here’s another article which is currently very negative of the situation… https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/us/trump-water-california-central-valley.html
So basically, dams were opened up spilling water on the other side of a mountain away from the fires. There are no pipes connecting these reservoirs to LA to fight the fires. Even if you wanted to collect the water with fire-fighting airplanes, you would have done that in the reservoir, you can’t scoop it up from a river. Basically he drained all the water out into the ground to affect this Summer’s crops, there is no other logical explanation.
