Smart guys running the operation. The National Guard wasn’t even deployed on the ground when Trump posted this. Pete Hegseth runs the Pentagon as well as he throws an axe on a Fox News set.

The photo shows the most efficient type of irrigation, a hand held hose with a human at the trigger. Automatic control is much more likely to over irrigate thru a number of different mechanisms. Pick on the right target!

Experts estimate as much as 50% of water household’s use for irrigation is wasted due to evaporation, wind, or runoff caused by inefficient methods and systems. Try these tips for saving water in your yard: bit.ly/3D2WOLK #saveourwater

The imperial measurement system is probably the root cause of many operational errors in water conservation. Besides much of California’s landscapers and water industry skilled staff are from metrified educational systems. Archaic units have consequences.

I use different units for different folks every day: Plant Operators -CFS & MGD System Operators -CFS & AFD Billing Staff -Units (CCF or 748 Gal) Pipe Engineers -GPM Budgeters -AFY Customers -Units (converted to Gal because WTH is a CCF anyway?) Wholesaler -AF & CFS Oy Vey

By early January, the latest CFSv2 16-member ensemble is bringing back the prominent North Pacific Blocking High. This is a staple point for La Nina Winters over the Pacific Basin. For my thoughts on this pattern, subscribing clients can check my forecast wsitrader.com/LongRange/Subs…
