Lake Oroville Hydro Power Plant Shut Down For First Time Due To Megadrought
On Wednesday, Lake Oroville fell to a record low of 642-feet above mean sea level. By Thursday, the lake stood at 641-feet above mean sea level. Readers may recall in mid-June, we said if the "640 feet is breached, then officials will likely be forced to close the Edward Hyatt Power Plant for the first time since it opened in 1967."

Who would have ever thought getting water in the desert would be a problem?

Does NorCal qualify as the desert? But they have trees and grass...
Are you confusing it with the Hoover dam?

So, the power plant isn't closed yet? Your headline is misleading.
Not intended to be a factual statement.

That part of Northern California is so dry that if it wasn't for irrigation they wouldn't be able to grow crops.

Some seasonal rain many mean that it is not a cactus type of desert particularly at the higher elevations, but it clearly is an extremely water poor area that is virtually useless as farm land if one has to just rely upon natural rainfall.

YEP ... that part of California is a near desert environment. Take away the water storage areas built by man and it could NOT support the populations that they have living there. (not even talking about the shipping of some of their water south to other parts of California)
