California farming is a major resource for US food and should be protected as a national security issue. Why haven't previous administrations implemented this apparently simple fix?
They were gonna cover aqueducts with solar panels. Win-win.
Now I guess they'll cover them with asbestos ?

Other sources have pointed out that this will not help agriculture at this time, and just throws away water which might be sorely needed later in the year. In addition, the way it was performed risked damaging the downstream water-distribution infrastructure.
At best, this is just another example of the sort of nonsense we can expect from an administration which will not speak sense to power, but it could also be seen as a thinly-veiled threat to California and all other states dependent on resources controlled by the federal government.
