So since last year, I've been trying to get water Resources Appropriation Act, I don't know, develop water resource appropriation development act resources for dredging the rivers and drainages through the valley here. So If we dredge the rivers and drainages here, a few years ago, a little over a year ago, we were flushing 150,000 cubic feet per second out to the delta. and that was at max capacity. In fact, if something in Tulare wouldn't have broken, something in Mendota or fireball would have broken, we would have had flooding somewhere. (32:29–32:38)
CLAIM
Asserts that dredging rivers and drainages could increase water flow to 150,000 cubic feet per second.
