State of Emergency in Washington?

There is no shortage of water in the Pacific Northwest region i.e. the coastal area north of San Francisco through Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.

There is however a lack of planning for facilities to contain the abundance of rain that falls during the winter months. Some of the precipitation will be snow that will eventually become water.

Until the governments involved get their thinking and spending caps on, the west coast of North America is going to have water restrictions forced upon them for evermore.

this whole statement makes no sense at all. Up until this year the management practices have worked fine for the last several generations, but not this time. So who knew there was a historic drought around the corner? And how much artificial storage would you like to have for the hopefully once in a lifetime event? Wouldnt it be nice if these events could be predicticed? Forcasters and planners can only do with what they have at hand.
