I'm interested in water resource management in San Diego County, in California, and in the other Colorado River Basin states. "GrokSurf" is from my blog (groksurf.com) & has no connection to the Musk abominations warping the term "Grok."

After a break on an old water pipeline under high pressure it stresses out other parts of that distribution system so it’s common for breaks to occur elsewhere days or weeks or months afterwards. They have good reason to be worried: www.smobserved.com/story/2026/0...

From Ben Noll. “El Niño development is currently more advanced than at the same stage of previous super El Niño events in 2015, 1997 and 1982. But the oceans are much warmer now, and that means the atmospheric response to El Niño this year will be different from the past.”
Comparison of 1982, 1997, 2015, and 2026 
El Niño SSTs on June 16. Sea surface temperatures in 2026 are much warmer.
