Kind of off topic but....

According to Wiki, Lake Oroville contains a little over 3.5 million acre feet of water. 

In comparison, Williston Lake in NE BC contains 60 million acre feet of water.  17 times as much water.  The dam that contains Williston Lake (WAC Bennett Dam) is not without it's problems. It is earth filled and has had sinkhole issues in the past. 

Southern BC continues to complain that pipelines from Alberta threaten the environment on the coast of BC, but these same people ignore the environmental effects this dam has had downstream in Alberta and the complete destruction that would ensue should the WAC Bennett dam were to fail like this one in California is now threatening to do. 

Southern BC residents, please think about this.
