President-elect Donald Trump has made what experts call “preposterous’ and false claims that California could have avoided the disaster by allowing water from Canada to flow through the state.

Trump has also blamed California ’s approach to balancing the distribution of water to farms and cities with the need to protect endangered fish species, including the Delta smelt.

Experts say Trump was likely referring to the Columbia River that flows from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia .

Canada and the U.S. announced last year it had reached an agreement in principle to modernize the Columbia River Treaty .

Talks on updating the treaty first began during Trump ’s first term before being finalized by the Biden administration.

The modernized pact still needs to be ratified by Congress , which is now firmly under Republican control.
