Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom is continuing to prepare the state for the water shortages impacting western states and the upcoming threat of a hotter, drier future. The Governor announced that the state’s Sites Reservoir infrastructure project is advancing forward and has received a nearly $219 million funding increase from the California Water Commission to ensure the project moves forward as quickly as possible. The additional funding is needed as a result of added costs from delays — including inflation and expected construction cost increases.
“We can’t wait to protect our state from water shortages – there are 40 million Californians depending on us. I am pleased to see the Sites Reservoir project move forward with additional funding, and urge the Legislature to continue to make our state’s water future a priority. Each day that we delay these projects costs our state more money. The Legislature has an opportunity to make history by fast-tracking critical water infrastructure that will ensure we are resilient against droughts and can continue delivering necessary water – a basic human right — to all Californians.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
Sites Reservoir is a key component of the Governor’s water strategy and will capture water from the Sacramento River during wet seasons and store it for use during drier seasons – holding up to 1.5 million acre-feet of water, enough to supply over 4.5 million homes for a year. The project will help California maintain a resilient water supply in the face of climate change, weather extremes, and water scarcity.
With this new infusion of funding, Sites is eligible for $1.094 billion in Proposition 1 funding. The total project cost is estimated at up to $6.8 billion, of which roughly $780 million will be financed through the federal government.
Governor Newsom previously streamlined the project, allowing the project to swiftly defeat a CEQA legal challenge. More information about the project can be found at build.ca.gov.

Preparing California’s water infrastructure
Over the last few decades, the California climate has warmed, with the effects felt strongly in water resources. The state has already experienced a marked increase in the variability of precipitation, with wild swings from drought to flood. These threats were outlined in a recently released State Water Project Adaptation Strategy which assesses and details over a dozen different state actions to protect the state’s water supply through the State Water Project.
Completing water infrastructure projects quickly is more important than ever. Through Governor Newsom’s streamlining efforts, the administration is working to mitigate future cost increases and prepare California for a new climate reality.
Conveyance infrastructure will also be needed to move that water to where it is needed to take advantage of fast-moving storms. This is why Governor Newsom has also announced a legislative package to fast-track another key water infrastructure project, the Delta Conveyance Project, which will also help offset and recover California’s future climate-driven water losses. The Delta Conveyance Project would expand the state’s ability to improve water supply reliability, while also maintaining environmental and water quality protections. During atmospheric rivers last year, the Delta Conveyance Project could have captured enough water for 9.8 million people’s yearly usage—further enhancing California’s ability to provide water to its 40 million residents, in conjunction with other water infrastructure projects like Sites Reservoir.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.
President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by — on average — 18.2%
Coming from the guy who says DC crime rates and the lowest in 30 years?
Then why is the murder rate even higher than Bogota’s 15.1 per 100k
Or almost 3 times higher than Mexico city at 10.6?
DC’s murder rate is at 27.54 per 100k
Mexico City and Bogata are no longer the dangerous places they once were. Keep up
St Louis Missouri has a murder rate of 87.2 per 100,000
Cleveland Ohio has a murder rate of 33.8 per 100,000
Better call Yale you fuking, bitter whiner.
HEADLINE NEWS THAT MAKES THE MENTALLY ILL WITH TDS BECOMES EXTREMELY ABUSIVE AND VIOLENT
TRUMP CONTINUES TO WIN AND LIBERAL LEFT BECOMES MORE UNHINGED BY THE HOUR
Canada removed many of its retaliatory tariffs on US goods Friday, signaling a major thaw in trade tensions between the two countries.
The move aims to reset trade talks between the two countries, and should lead to lower tariffs on Canadian goods entering the USA.That should help keep prices in check for everything from lumber and seafood to alcohol and auto parts. For Americans, the move means more than cheaper goods on shelves and at the pump. It also eases pressure on businesses that rely on Canadian imports, from homebuilders to carmakers, and reduces the risk of sudden price hikes.
Most importantly, it signals a cooling of trade hostilities that have fueled uncertainty since the Trump administration imposed duties on steel and aluminum.
The move comes a day after Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump spoke by phone for the first time since the two countries missed a self-imposed deadline to reach a trade agreement earlier this month.
Carney said the rollback, starting September 1, will match US exemptions on goods covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada trade deal (USMCA).
I know it’s going to be hard to admit that you have been lied to by trump, but you’ll feel so much better when you do.
Trump was voted in, you were voted out.
Yes, nearly a third of the country believes his lies. That’s how he got elected.
You been listening to CNN to long.
Good news! Water storage becomes even more important as climate change leads to less frequent, but far wetter, storms.
Correct , consumers pay these tariffs, they are a tax we all pay. Many businesses that are completely US sourced inputs, products are raising prices again, as they did post Covid.
The Sites project only collects water that would flow into the Pacific in times of extreme events. It makes sense.
Also with a warmer` climate we will see more warm storms , less snow, the traditional snowpack storage will be changing.
Still in drought years , there will be no excess water storage.
This said, in the drought years usually a 7 year cycle, there will be no excess storage. Taking percolation, evaporation of water storage sites into account, a serious shortfall is coming facing the future.
There is no climate change.
The glaciers aren’t melting.
The weather is not more severe.
No people have been displaced because of climate change. the millions forced to leave their farms is a hoax.
Solar and wind is way more expensive power than fossil fuels.
We need to drill for oil, mine more coal, because clean renewable power is a hoax. It kills birds, pollutes more ,and warms the planet more than fossil fuels.
Listen to the Republicans for the real truth.
If you can’t see the change in weather patterns, melting glaciers, and severe weather, you’re blind.
What about all those that have died, been displaced, and forced to leave their homes because of flooding, hurricanes, fires, etc. many caused by changes in weather.
Solar an wind is more expensive than fossil fuel but both can be just as destructive to our land.
All of it is hype from both sides to push their agenda and line their pockets while the general population pays for it. The worst part is those political monsters in charge think we are all too stupid to see what’s going on.
Interesting emotional response but the actual data does not support the climate change models. So far 98% of the models have been incorrect AL Gores climate emergency has come and gone and none of the models were correct.
Keep watching climate news as more and more of the models fail we you try to bases science on emotions instead of actual data it doesn’t work
I smell high speed rail, wonder what the cost over runs will be on this one.
Since 1996 when the voters approved the advisory board for the project, there is no way they knew 29 years latter it would still not be done or how much it would cost.
You mean like the tunnels?
Nope, the high speed rail project.
Calif. doesn’t need water storage everyone is leaving.
More for those of us that stay!!!
If you can afford to pay for it.
The grass is always greener on the other side, until you get there. Sure housing, utilities, groceries, gas, etc. are cheaper than CA but your salary will be a lot less too.
The lie of high cost of clean renewables endures.
Fact- Solar, Wind is the cheapest source of all power now, why the world is on the band wagon.
Just like e-cars, so much cheaper to drive, you can make your own electricity to charge them, but the fossil fuel lobby says no.
The sun is free, hard to beat that, whether from the rays, or wind it causes.
The cons probably want to tax you for the sun or wind, sad.
Newsom ever hear the word Litnix?
No No … it’s far better to suck the ass of a war criminal. Lay out the red carpet and refuse to release the Epstein/Maxwell info. Just cover that shit up … gop calls it winning
I can’t get over the image of American troops on their knees rolling out the red carpet to Putin’s plane.
Has everyone in the hills realized your boy trump is completely out of his fucking mind
As far as the great Gavin Newsom. Are you actually serious. He is taking the orange criminal clown to school. Making trump look like a bumbling demented fool. Just Saying…
Trump is President, gavin will never be president! And you know it.
Imagine if Biden wore a hat that said “Biden Was Right About Everything” while he threatened to send troops to rural areas…. Just imagine….
He looked really unhealthy yesterday
But well enough to kick your sorry weak ass.
Impeach this incompetent moron and throw those republican lawmakers out on the street…. With zero money
Biden was right about everything. Glad someone finally noticed
His he still alive?
^^^How about your intelligence? “His” it still alive??
Moron.
You have a sore ass with Trump’s foot stuck in it?
Fish On Fish On
Guess you didn’t see trump in his “trump was right about everything”hat at the White House yesterday. There was a time when that kind of thing was disrespectful to the office
SO!
He was pretty good in falling down.
Dear President Trump, Could you send a clean up crew to the Shit Hole Ghetto on live oak dr. for some love.
I lost count.
Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he’s got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he’s not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He’s rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it.
But Joe Biden, huh.
Were you able to see his ankles with his foot stuck in your ass?
^^Trumper.
Admit it. Your boy, the orange one, is looking pretty sad these days. And not just looking sad….have you really listened to him talk? He doesn’t even know the difference between Alaska and Russia for christ’s sake..
Making up numbers, stumbling, mumbling, and bumbling through media encounters.
But now he’s making up for his incompetence with his “Retrubution 2025 Tour”. You know, its he one that keeps his base, fools like you, all fired up. Because they lack the intelligence to digest real data showing how poorly our countries economy is doing under his leadership.
How are your grociery prices doing Boocephus?
How about those lumber prices?
Electronics prices?
Auto prices?
Home prices?
Thank god you and your family are on welfare, maga base. Don’t hold your breath on that though Cletus, because you party, the gutless Republican one, is going to allow Trump and Project 2025 to strip you of any government assisstance. Then what will you do hick? You’ll have to move to a smaller single wide. Maybe have your wife work two shifts at Burger King while you watch FOX News and Newsmax, loading up on the “facts” of our democracy. Trump is fukin you and everyone like you, but you are too effing illiterate to even see it. So now you want to kick my ass???
Well, I am sure you ARE wearing a wife beater tee-shirt, your daisy duke jeans, and a MAGA red hat. Bring it on faggott………..
Adam are you one of those idiots that hold signs on friday afternoon at the traffic light in AC?
Maybe you can use Trumps used adult diapers. They would act as a cooler pad, wouldn’t they??
Gavin Newsome is showing more balls than the combined total of balls in Congress, and to a lesser extent the Senate. Is it too early for Trump and Newsome to debate? It would be a gas to watch Gavvy undress, literally not figureatively, Trump live on TV. Trump absolutely could not hang with Gavvy. Trump is now shitting his britches even more with Newsomes brutal mocking of him. Trump cant handle it, can’t hang with it, cant win in a battle of wits with Gavvy.
Gotta love it.
I give Newsome props for taking Trumps way of throwing shade at someone and chucking it right back at him. With more effect I might add.
Go get em’ Gavvy!! And start making fun of his hair!!! His kankles, his diapers, his speech, all of it!!!!!!
And local Trumpanzees, his cult, the morons that admire him, our loving rednecks, have no idea what Trump is doing to THEM, his base. Fu<king morons……
HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We know you love sucking Morons Cocks.
Adam how’s business?
I thought there was a “no-name” thing on this rag??
Take it up with your local grocery store and cry on their shoulders…,,,
John John!
Hahahahahahahah Hohohohohoho Hehehehehehehe go to church.
