Let's just clear up some misinformation going around.

... Excerpt...
Trump misleads about California water policy
As Los Angeles firefighters raced to contain blazes in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, the area's hydrant water pressure ran low, and some hydrants stopped producing water.

Trump, in a Jan. 8 Truth Social post, blamed Newsom's management for the water issues, and said Newsom had refused to allow "beautiful, clean, fresh water to flow into California."

"Governor Gavin (Newsom) refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way," Trump said. "He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn't work!), but didn't care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid."

Trump's posts seemed to blame the water constraints on statewide water management plans that capture rain and snow as it flows from Northern California. But experts said those plans would not have affected the fire response.

Southern California has plenty of water stored, said Mark Gold, the water scarcity solutions director at the Natural Resources Defense Council and a Southern California Metropolitan Water District board member.
to exist. Newsom's press team said on social media, "There is no such document as the water restoration declaration – that is pure fiction."

Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to an email asking for clarification; after publication, a Trump spokesperson emailed PolitiFact referring to a plan from Trump's first term that would have directed more water from the federal Central Valley Project to farmers in the San Joaquin Valley.

Newsom and then-California Attorney General Xavier Becerra sued the Trump administration over the plan, which they said violated protections for endangered species, including Chinook salmon and Delta smelt — a slender, 2- to 3-inch fish that is considered endangered under California's Endangered Species Act.

But here's the kink in Trump's logic: The Central Valley Project provides no water to Los Angeles. The regional water district receives some water from the State Water Project, which also collects water from the Delta-Bay area and shares some reservoirs and infrastructure with the Central Valley Project. But most of the extra water from Trump's plan would have been sent to the San Joaquin Valley, and it's wrong to connect water management further north to the firefighting challenges in Los Angeles.

The local water system failed because the city's infrastructure was built to respond to routine structure fires, not massive wildfires across multiple neighborhoods, experts told us. Ann Jeffers, a University of Michigan civil and environmental engineering professor who studies fire engineering, said she doesn't know of any industry standard for designing city water supplies to fight the kind of fire that erupted in the Palisades.

Dryness and high winds meant that "these fire events would be likely to exceed a given design basis, if one even existed," Jeffers said. Chris Field, a Stanford University professor and climate scientist, said climate change worsens these conditions.

Three main water tanks near the Palisades, each holding about 1 million gallons, were filled in preparation of the fire because of dangerous weather. The tanks were all depleted by 3 a.m. on Jan. 8, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power CEO and Chief Engineer Janisse Quiñones said during a Jan. 8 press conference. Although water continued to flow to the affected areas, demand for water rose faster than the system could deliver it.

repairs when the fires broke out which may have slowed the water pressure issues had it been operable, the Los Angeles Times reported Jan 10.

Other social media users claimed slow construction of California's reservoir led to the hydrants running dry. But local infrastructure failures, not regional water storage, caused the hydrant problems, so it's wrong to blame them on these projects' construction timeline.

"In 2014, Californians overwhelmingly voted to spend billions on water storage and reservoirs," the conservative account Libs of Tiktok posted Jan. 8. "Gavin Newsom still hasn't built it. Now no water is coming out of the fire hydrants."

California voters approved a 2014 ballot measure to spend $2.7 billion on water storage projects — and, to date, none have been completed. Only one of those projects is a new reservoir, based in the Sacramento Valley about 450 miles from Los Angeles. It's set to begin operating in 2033.

So much more at the link
TLDR: Reservoirs near Palisades fire were filled in preparation of the fire danger. LA has plenty of water in storage. Some of the problems have to do with moving water uphill etc

Specifically corrects some of the claims made by the frequently misleading LibsOfTikTok account.

There efforts from LA and CA are definitely not perfect and there legitimate criticisms to be made. But many of those being made are

false and/or misleading.

Glad you sobered up after that deluge of posts from yesterday.

I'm sorry my username triggers you.

@dmoneybangbang nobody is triggered by you. It's just fun to laugh at someone so ignorant

Lol at having to sober up. Maybe you should take your own advice. You apparently need it
