Half of Orange County is a humongous floodplain. Building a giant concrete ditch from Corona to the sea seemed like a good idea in the 30s but is really a horrible idea from a ground water reclaimation standpoint. I remember, as a kid, watching the Santa Ana nearly top its banks one February. The problem is not entirely the dam, it's the ability of the entire system to handle the water from a 100 or 200 year flood. It's not a great situation.

This is what I was implying in an earlier post. The original design is too dependant on upstream collection and reclaimation. The lower floodplain itself (save a few stretches in Anaheim, etc) has extremely limited water dispersal/reclaimation ability. Now, with how built up OC is, eminent domaining the massive acreage needed to expand those abilities would be politically impossible.
