[Magdalen] Sometimes, gov't works.

[Marion Thompson]

This will surely be the end of Lake Nacimiento?  Water is a finite 
resource and we're using it like there's no tomorrow. Water or lack of 
it will be our biggest challenge in the not-distant future.

This isn't  meant to take away from the good news that gov't works.  
Rather, it is my very black view of the days to come on this planet.

The water is then recharged into the Salinas Valley groundwater basin. Both lakes are managed by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency. The project is part of groundwater management in Salinas Valley.
