People and jobs are more important than fish. Turn the pumps back on and screw the fish. Nothing is native to the Delta. People and jobs are more important than fish.

Maslows hierarchy kind of dictates that even if california is royally screwing the environment by using gigawatts of electricity to pump water to what is mostly a desert out of a delta to quench legions of enivromentalists thirsts, no one wants to hear about it. Clean water for people > fish. Matt, I doubt it.

You mentioned that the pumping is actually altering the environment by changing the salinity levels and water flow. Have there been any environmental impact studies done in the last 40 years touching on this specifically? Ie., how it has impacted the migration and spawning? Interesting read.
