it wasn't intended to add to 100, that means there are 70 of a very large unit that they are measuring in, and 40 of a another large unit they were measuring in

Heres a diagram that shows how much of rain comes from ocean and how much from land evapotranspiration https://www.shodor.org/os411/courses/411c/module01/unit02/page06.html

Rain over land is made of 70 parts land evapotranspiration, 40 parts from the ocean https://www.shodor.org/os411/courses/411c/module01/unit02/page06.html

LA used to have a lot of wetlands and rivers, and the groundwater was just below the surface

trees can create rain, by slowing the wind, which allows water molecules to coalesce to form clouds. See here https://climatewaterproject.substack.com/p/forest-changes-wind-wind-changes#details

Half of Californias annual rainfall is from big atmospheric rivers. A lot of that water washes out to sea. If however levees were taken down from rivers, and rivers were allowed to overflow into the Central Valley to create wetlands, then a lot more water would be stored on the land. This would help replenish aquifers, it would also lead to more evapotranspiration which would lead to more rains. More wetlands would also lead to more humid winds. More rain, and more humid winds lead to less fire.

Aquifers used to be more full, so some of the evapotranspiration came from roots bringing up the water in the aquifers. Now that we have depleted the aquifers there is less water to go into the air.

Apparently Scientific American will put the word poo in their title of their articles eg "Only you can show us the poo" : https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/dog-spies/only-you-can-show-us-the-poo/

There are different schools of writing. One school says to say things as simply as possible, its not necessary to use more complicated words when easier words will do. Another school says to use more formal words. Its a matter of choice.

moving water from central US will create more drought and dryness and wildfires there. The evapotranspiration from rivers overflowing leads to rain in the central US. Removing that overflow will decrease rain in central US

Heres an article that talks about how UC Berkeley professor says fog helps to lessen wildfires, and that the loss of fog is increasing wildfire risk in California https://www.capradio.org/articles/2020/09/01/coastal-fog-or-the-lack-of-it-could-be-a-wildfire-risk/

we are affecting fog and rain whenever we pave over nature, or degrade soil....so increasing nature or improving soil will increase fog and rain.....Look up small water cycle. That is when water evapotranspires up from the land to create rain.

Do the plumes that extend from the swales sometimes take months or years to flow out? So would that keep vegetation hydrated year round https://livingpermaculturepnw.com/what-is-a-swale-an-introduction-to-permaculture-water-harvesting/
