Raising the Dam at Lake Shasta 200 feet instead of the previously
proposed 20 will add 10 million acre feet of Water.

The Klamath Reservoir will add 15 million acre feet of water.

The Eel Reservoir will add 7.5 million acre feet of water.

That is 32.5 million acre feet of water between the three.

Lake Mead and Lake Powell are the two largest reservoirs in the United States. They each hold up to 25 million acre feet of water, but they are presently at 40% capacity, each with 10 million acre feet of water, only
20 million acre feet of water total between the two.

There is a drought every decade or so in California.  Entire farms could
die out.

The Federal Government needs to put in these reservoirs, like the Hoover
Dam. Farms are industry.  Industry needs 100% facilitation to work.
Farmers should not have to worry about water, it should be like
sunlight. The Federal government water project is for farmers.  The
State water project is for drinking water.  The State dam is newer and nearly failed recently.  100,000 were evacuated.  There will be excess capacity from the Federal project diverted to State water use.

If California needs it, California should pay for it.
