4. Wasn't a dam recently removed in Northern California?

I know it's a regional as well as a state-wide concern, and there's a lot of water being moved all around the state, sometimes over long distances, and not always very efficiently. I wonder if different policies and priorities are working against each other. The last drought ended just a couple of years ago, and I worry about the inevitable next one. I think a conservation policy needs to be a full-time and broader concern, and not based on shorter-term considerations.
