Everyone knew it. Ironic that a Trump theme is common sense when he has none.

Army Corps knew Trump order would waste California water, memo shows

The Army Corps of Engineers colonel responsible for releasing water from two California reservoirs at President Donald Trump’s direction in January knew that it was unlikely to reach the southern part of the state as Trump had promised, according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.

The agency carried out Trump’s directive, which came in the wake of catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles County, on short notice on Jan. 30, though it would normally require days to coordinate. A memo written four days after the release, obtained by The Post through a public records request, shows how federal officials rushed ahead with the plan to release irrigation water despite objections from the state’s elected officials and some local farmers.

Col. Chad W. Caldwell, commander of the Army Corps’ Sacramento district, wrote that the water that poured out of Lake Kaweah and Success Lake “could not be delivered to Southern California directly.” To do so would have required several steps of coordination with state and federal agencies to transport the water to a rarely used connection point, and it quickly became clear that was impossible in such little time, according to the memo.

Oh well. Looks like those Californians reaped what they sowed with their partisan nonsense.

Hope they enjoy the rebuild!

Nice try....but as usual a big fail by you.
That water was NEVER "wasted" and the Army Corps of Engineers NEVER said the water was "wasted".
Wasted was your word....the water just never reached LA directly...BTW...the lakes have plenty of water and the release of water NEVER created a supply problem of water to anyone.
