Simple solution: Open the floodgates at Don Pedro reservoir

MODESTO — There's a new risk along the Tuolumne River in Modesto. 

Chris Guptill took a CBS13 crew to see the mess he cleans up along the river time and again, but what he discovered recently raised a new red flag. Guptill discovered homeless setting up shelters by digging caves into the embankment.

  1. Don Pedro is currently at 64% fill level...not too bad for end of summer/beginning of winter. But Kali doesn't have enough water to waste just flushing trash.... there are other alternatives that would work. If the state had the political will to use them. They won't.

    1. CA wastes millions of gallons regularly if not every day.

  2. I knew it. What goes around comes around. We're getting back to cavemen age. I think I'll come up with a cartoon series based on this and call it "The Flintstones"

    1. There is a theory on the internet that the Flintstones and the Jetsons actually occur at the same time. It's that the Flintstones are where the poor people are at, or a country where the culture lost how to develop or build their technology. That's why there's birds or pterodactyls that are used as record players, etc...

  3. Open the floodgates/flush the toilet.

  4. "Those behaviors, they get frustrating because we can clean up as clean as you can get it and someone can undo it pretty quickly, but it doesn't mean you stop," Guptill said. That's good advice for many situations, Mr Guptil.
