It included money to conduct a study to determine if dredging was an effective and less expensive way to improve flood protection between Mossdale and Vernalis.
The silt build-up is still there.
Why not just dredge the silt build-up now since the water is low?
The silt build-up they wanted to remove was in the Los Angeles River.
The same goes for floods.
It is clear that building most dams, such as the one at Auburn, won’t have any major impact on water supplies during droughts or other times.
That’s why a growing number of our flood and droughts in California are policy driven.
