  As a side note: @3:41, diversion tunnel is shown at full capacity. Diameter of tunnel is 40' to give you an idea of the cubic feet of water flowing. Crazy amount of water! Sad that it never got built! Typical CA politics & pot smoking tree huggers.

  California sure screws up by not building the auburn dam years ago. Self serving naturalists once again got in the way of something that would have benefited millions while not damaging land that was useful for much. Just a steep brush covered canyon that is nothing but a major fire threat now.

  A stupid and dangerous idea... California state engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation willing to risk the lives of thousands of people would baffle any sensible person...

  We lived above the American River with a view of Lake Clementine. We fought tooth and nail against this monstrosity and was so happy to see it fail. Just reliving good times here.
