1. More reservoirs. Capture more runoff before it escapes to sea.

2. Colorado is equal

or even worse.........Red Flag Warnings (worst rating) have been standard in the mountains of Colorado for months now, and getting worse..........I can only imagine that the Wildfire Danger, especially along the Northern Front Range, could be the worst ever this spring/summer/fall......

Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and southern California had better put SERIOUS water restrictions in place starting NOW.....
