California's $20BN Water Transfer Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- A colossal mega project is underway in California, today we explore some of the insane engineering behind this water transfer project. 24 kilometers south of Sacramento, the project will feature intake valves along the Sacramento River, each capable of handling 85,000 liters per second. These intakes will filter water through fine screens to protect aquatic life before channeling it into the tunnel.

Small typo from us at the end of the video it’s 700,000 households not 3 😅
Not a small typo
3 homes in Beverly hills
23 seconds in and three mispronunciation is this worth trying to sit through? I tried watching your other California big builds and it was unwatchable I had to turn it off because you can’t even figure out a Spanish J.
Yeah, that stat left me scratching my head…
Yeah, I was like "3 isn't a lot..."
If California would simply allow lake Tulare, a natural lake, to exist, then all of these water storage issues would be taken care of. It would also recharge the aquafer, prevent the central valley from subsiding, and keep out salt water incursion as well. Instead, they are draining the lake as fast as possible to get the land back for the rich agricultural concerns who killed the lake in the first place. As usual, California government policy is up for the highest bidder.
It's because LA wants the water, and they outvote the north. California Water Wars have been going on since the Gold Rush.
6:40 Make no mistake, the aqueduct delivers water to Farms then cities. Ag and industry use 75% of the state's drinking water. We grow rice in the desert which is a pretty stupid use of a limited supply.
Rice is grown in the delta, hardly a desert. Much of the cotton once grown in the San Joaquine Valley has been curtailed. The major problem with this project is that it enhances saltwater intrusion into the delta which provides both drinking and irrigation water for many folks in the east bay and western central valley.
Southern California gets huge downpours of rain that they send out to the ocean as quickly as possible to avoid flooding. Why can they not save a lot of these downpours in reservoirs?
65 kilometers long, 11 meters in diameter... That equates to a full capacity of about 214,000 acre feet of water just in the volume of the tunnel and, in that respect, establishes an underground reservoir of not insignificant size. Thing is, this can't be an incremental project. Until the whole thing is finished, you don't get to move even a drop of water.
9:49 Those 3 households use a lot of water.
Typo 😉
they're in beverly hills. they do use a lot of water.
@@garykidd4468 90.000 olympic swimming pools is quite a bit of water for a single household lol
Should supply 400,000 houses with water for a year...
Bizarre. Nobody watching this video has any idea what 85,000 liters per second means. Large American water projects measure volumes and flow rates in cubic feet and acre feet. Much harder to fact check as all of the water use databases are in cubic feet and acre feet too. Yeah, yeah, I know one can convert these units, but why?
Oh your such a God. Nobody is super intelligent, smart and great as you
maybe it's time for America to start using metric like the other 90% of the world. don't be scared it's very easy
@@noinchesdiy7269 We did. For alcoholic beverages. Used to buy bourbon by the fifth of a U.S. gallon.
291 million CF for a year to ONLY 3 households ..... DOES NOT COMPUTE!
LHH. You caught that too! I had to back it up 5 times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
3 homes for Cali elite tax exempt rich greedy snobs in their gated estates is about right
Corrrect number is 700,000.
I love how they say the tunnel goes from Northern California to Southern California.
imagine, precipitation being tied to an uncertain climate, where once engineers could count on a fairly regular annual amount and now, no one really knows what's coming in terms of annual precipitation anywhere on the planet... mega projects require a particular amount of consistency and certainty in this regard to succeed, otherwise terra forming for nothing...
AI Generated text, audio, and video. This is the creative solution android human computer "scientists" have come up with as the next "get rich" business model to "make the world a better place".
We, here in California, allow way too much downpour to makes it's way to the Ocean, Instead of putting collection systems to reclaim that water. In the News we're constantly being reminded that there are Ideas being proposed, but nothing ever seems to materialize.
Some duplication of video and narration . . .
The label says AMERICA'S $20BN Water transfer project? When it should say CALIFORNIAS $20BN Water transfer project!
Federal government is probably providing the funding ? At least partially
Seriously dude how many times do you need to repeat yourself
I love ocean animals in the Pacific Oceans in California in the futures.❤
I always love more ocean animals in the Pacific Oceans in California in the futures.❤
why not setup Desalination plant? For the amount of water that can be done is enough for watering
those are always blocked by the coastal commission which is a small group of dictators that control everything and anything to do with the coast and beyond.
Super expensive when compared to making the 20bn water tunnel. Also output of the plant is way lower than just channeling it.
California has all the water it needs. It just doesn’t need to grow almonds, rice and alfalfa for export and farmers, If they had to actually pay what water was worth they would be growing more intensive, but I have to give up on this RUclips channel. It is so poorly researched, and the narration is just dreadful
The desalination plants in the LA area did not pass the environmental reviews.
Which seems odd, given that it is right beside the Pacific Ocean.
What do you do with the saline concentrate after desalination? Big problem for those.
high speed rail is gonna save us all!!!
who needs water?
Very clever comment!!
Some people will claim there's plenty of water for residential use which is true except that without growing enough food the economy will suffer.... For example 40 million people are supported across seven states from the Colorado River, but this is not enough to meet their needs for food and water usage.
San Joaquin = San wahKEEN
They’re already gonna pull water off to fill the new lake. They’re building near willows and now pull off more from same source? Water only goes so far the southern portion of the state has been doing everything they can to get water since 1900!
I always love ocean animals in the Pacific Oceans in California in the futures.❤
That whole Sacramento valley and bay area used to be under water. Most people lived in the hills and mountains. I think it was salt water tho
One minor pronunciation correction regarding soil behavior in an earthquake: The word is liqueFACtion, not liquiFICAtion. Note the spelling "lique" instead of "liqui."
North gets enough rain, farmers in tbe south rip that off at unbelievable lowrates and grow water thirsty crops for big bucks while residents go dry.
If the farmers don't use it, it goes to building more cities. I'd rather have tomatoes grown in California rather than Mexico.
As a California it's about time we manage our water supply instead of letting it drain into the Ocean. We need more resoviours, to capture rain water and desalination plants to treat salt water into drinking water like Israel.
Question, 291 million cubic meters of water supply ONLY 3 Households with a year's worth of water? I think the number must be higher.
Excellent great task greetings
The United States uses miles and not km.
what's metric for H2O?
Though this is true. If you haven't noticed the switch to get America/Americans on the same forms of measurement as the rest the world has already begun....
@@faithnevaehmartinez4509 US military uses metric.
who are they stealing water from this time?
How many drops is in 85 thousand liters per second? It would be a much "bigger" number you could use.
The earthquakes will make maintenance a nightmare lol
Only had to capture water running into ocean. Holding area.
No point: a computer voice reads State promotion text, over and over… (and in liters!)
California has a long coastline with access to the Pacific Ocean.
Yet shortage of fresh water requiring complex and expensive solutions.
What is the source of water for Musk’s Occupy Mars?
Maybe California should ask Musk for advice.
20 billion to steal the water,but they cant get bart to Solano county.
Yes, remove water from a place with water and send it to the desert where they need water, eventually making both locations.... a desert. . how about stop building homes in the middle of a desert area, how about stopping golf courses from using the massive amounts of water that they due because.. people need their golf . The dam state will punish individual home owners for their water usage but allow businesses to pump out gallon after gallon.
I've even heard of some plans / talks / thoughts on taking water from the Mississippi river and via pipe lines send it to the west but, again MOVE OUT OF THE DAM DESERT, Use what you have and if you can't make it.. well it is California, we won't miss you.
Let CA government demolish all dams.
Let people move out of low lying areas to avoid flooding.
Would that be good solution?
And people can pump water from underground for drinking & watering lawns.
when done 150bn
I am excited for this.
👍🏿 yeah right, this will never happen. Another pipe dream like high speed rail😂
Sooooo, all this to help 3 houses?!?! Huh 🤔
I love you usa
Irritating… you restate the facts, issues, etc., 2 to 3 times…
...just gotta hit that 10 min mark.
🙄
Must pay better.
Yah, I have to unsubscribe, the repeating things over and over is beyond irritating.
We don't have a water problem, we have a government problem!!!!
Government should shut down all water reservoirs.
Let private companies buy them & start selling water. 😂
Water is used to grow California almonds to send to China.
Sorry, i dont think a singe household needs 90 milion cubix meters of water 😅 10:00
No one supplies so much water to one house holder
"San Wahkin"? no, "San Joaquin". Apparently the narrator is an eastern transplant?
Appears things could have been resolved to some significant degree years ago if citizens had been properly informed and encouraged to approve those early projects. An y old story of 'wouda - coulda - shoulda.
What's with the climate change disclaimer?
California should not grow rice and other water guzzling crops.
I live in ca, and it creates a lot of jobs. We send too much water to the South.
Rice consumes about 4 acre feet. How about tomatoes or corm
because they consume well over 10 acre feet. Maybe you can stop flushing your toilet. Ask questions before you make unintelligent statements
Look at China, no limit in water if you build infrastructure
How about the alfalfa they grow for Saudi Arabia’s horses. For them we should steal delta water and allow samt water infusion into Northern California?!?
Tunnels are always constructed underground . . .
Says the person who's never been to NYC 😅
STOP TAPPING river water and ground water instead use DESALINATION and ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR combine to supply water for HUMAN consumptions.
I love more Ocean animals in the Pacific Oceans in California in the futures.❤
You make the project sound "all good." You miss a big point: preventing the water from flowing through the delta will drive many species of fish to extinction. The delta needs the water to prevent collapse of the ecosystem. You know why big ag wants this? Money. They keep planting more almonds. 1,000,000 acres of almonds already! And every single almond uses 1 gallon of water to grow. Let's see, more almonds or save the fish and the delta environment? I side with the fish. Almonds aren't going to go extinct. By the way, we export most of those almonds. Again, big money for big ag. Pretty one-sided presentation.
Musk's Boring company could do it faster and cheaper but Noooooooooooo that would save tax payers' dollars!!!
Musk’s boring company didn’t finish one project so far.
And musk can bid for this project if he thinks he can do it for cheaper.
Not one mention of what this will do to the ecology of the delta. Computer generated propaganda at its finest.
We need an American explaining this...In our country we use miles and gallons
need americans smoking more hemp, in kilos! btw, which America? cause there are a number of them that don't think they are at the center of the universe
More water for Southern California and more votes for the Governor when he runs for President???
robotvoicesucks...
Will the producer of this video please learn how words in languages, other than English, are pronounced correctly.
It’s an AI generated voice.. maybe there will be improvement with pronunciation over time.
Stop using the metric system
Just 99 percent of the wourld use it
@@henryjanicky4978 but we don’t use it in California
US Military uses it, get over yourselves, let go of your British empirical roots, unless you still love queens and/or kings?
@@chasmader Oh, so there are no scientist in California? ah ha ha ha. I use it and I am in California and use the other system as well.
@@bobmirror7164 Good for you! There are plenty of scientists in Calif. As you know, we invented the internet too. But I only know of one road-sign in the entire state with distances labled in KM. I've also never seen a box of cake mix with metric measurements. Yes, I know all the drivel about it being superior for science. Thats great, most Californians are not scientists. So good for you for being able to calculate in metric. You do realize it was invented by the French?
