Should raise upper McClure and Don Pedro to 1200ft and merge them with an open channel. It would more than double its storage capacity and make it bigger than Shasta.

It would allow the two reservoirs to work together for flood/storage at high capacities and indepently to their respective districts at low capacities. (Make channel

Drive through a few inches of flood and your hybrid battery pack modules will fail.

All those years of no rain and they had zero efforts to make more storage. Incoming water shortage in one year.
