Looks like the Bureau Of Reclamation wants an excuse to build more dams.
A new report from the Bureau of Reclamation says runoff to major western river basins, including the San Joaquin and Colorado that supply California, could drop 8 to 14 percent overall by 2050.
And while the agency’s projections show that another California water source, the Sacramento River, could see a slight increase of 2.5 percent, the state picture remains grim.

The key word is “could”. That is hardly a definitive word.
They’ll need more dams to hold all the water from the melting record snowpack.
