It's far more complicated than Trump's bleat that they'll just turn the water on for the farmers. In addition, the less water that flows down to the delta means that more saltwater flows up it, changing the ecology still further. Water management in a time of drought is difficult. And California is in drought. Here.
• Return Delta pumping to normal operations at federal and state pumps. Because normal pumping levels are already paid for, this measure would cost taxpayers zero dollars.
• Fix the San Joaquin River Settlement. Instead of continuing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an unworkable scheme to recreate salmon runs, we should turn the San Joaquin River into a year-round flowing river with recirculated water. This approach would be good for the warm-water fish habitat and for recreation, and it would save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars that will otherwise go down the salmon-run rat hole.
• Expedite and approve construction of major new water projects. This should include building the Temperance Flat dam along the San Joaquin River, raising Shasta dam to increase its reservoir capacity, expanding the San Luis Reservoir and approving construction of the Sites Reservoir in the Sacramento Valley. Because water users themselves should rightfully pay for these projects, they would cost federal taxpayers zero dollars.

I didn't know that 'environmental activists' can cause rain to stop falling from the sky. Gosh, they're so powerful!

I didn't realize rain stopped falling in CA. Oh that's right, it didn't.

Yeah it's a drought. Not a crisis like the Governor claims.

Wasn't there a find a couple of years ago in which Scientists mentioned finding a Zillion gallons of Water beneath the ground? Funny how they say water is 'running out'. Perhaps it's just being kept from the general population so Nestle's who thinks Water is Not a human right, can continue making billions of $$$ taking Billions of gallons of water to create Chocolate no one actually needs.
