Reply to comment by noxx1234567 in The Key to California’s Survival Is Hidden Underground The state is ping-ponging between severe drought and catastrophic flooding. The solution to both? Making the landscape spongier. by Sariel007

We already have in CA. The Natural Resources Board (NRB) determines the minimum level of water needed to flow out to support ecosystems that require them (ex. steelhead trout). Some coastal communities that stupidly rely on coastal creeks and other limited riparian habitats for water have a limit to how much water they can draw from sources.
