BTW: I wouldn't want the water in the LA River. It's headwaters contain the Santa Susana JPL 1959 Nuclear meltdown soils and radiation. We would need to slow/sink/stop water before it gets into the river.
Factoid: It takes 40 gallons of fresh water to 'push' out one gallon of salt water and our aquifers are connected to the ocean. In Ventura county, the saline concentration has reached inland to Somis (>15 miles) inland.
Surfrider has a great short animation of https://vimeo.com/10328536 for the 'cycle of insanity' for water.
Finally had the time to fully listen to your podcast interview of Erica. Excellent.
Thanks for the mention of the Chad Hansen book “Smoke Screen “. I’m going to go looking for it. I’ve read a few of his published papers on forestry disputing USFS on wildfires and logging. He’s looked at a much larger time frame and geographical area than USFS.
I love how Brad Lancaster presents the 2,000 acres done by the Austins in Arizona: https://www.harvestingrainwater.com/2022/08/where-rocks-have-made-the-water-flow-a-water-harvesting-arizona-ranch/ We all need to be 'rock beavers' along our watersheds.

I learned SO much.
Bowing to you both.
I do want to gather people to discuss Water Always Wins.
