A federal judge has stopped some of the crippling water policy by high school students pretending to be adult judges. "Rather, operations of the huge pumps on the south side of the delta of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers were shut down for weeks at a time during the most productive water season in order to preserve the silvery smelt.
It simply didn't matter that shutting the pumps had no discernible effect on smelt population, but did have a major impact on farmers, farm workers and urban water users from the San Francisco Bay area through the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California."
But, someone found an adult judge, with common sense. "But Wanger's thinking apparently changed because of the near-depression caused in much of the region around where he lives by the combination of natural drought and his edicts. His new ruling came in an appeal of the FWS biological opinion by farming members of the Westlands Water District and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority. It's not yet known if or how much water flow might be restored as a result of the new thinking, but there is bound to be some effect."
This is just one reason California can not recover from its government caused depression--no water, no farms, higher consumer costs and higher unemployment.
This is criminal.
