#armycorps — Public Fediverse posts

Col. Chad W. Caldwell, commander of the #ArmyCorps’ Sacramento district, wrote that the #water that poured out of Lake Kaweah & Success Lake “could not be delivered to Southern California directly.” To do so would have required several steps of coordination w/ #California state & federal agencies to transport the water to a rarely used connection point, & it quickly became clear that was impossible in such little time, acc/to the memo.

Inside battle to build $1.2 billion# fish barricade
#ArmyCorps of Engineers aims to block invasive #carp from #GreatLakes. But fish, formerly called #AsianCarp, could still find a way in. Over the past 50-some years, invasive carp, a stunningly destructive #invasivespecies, have infested almost every waterway in the Midwest, from South Dakota to beyond the Mississippi Delta, and have even reached West Virginia. We need to block them at the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
