The California Water Wars: Not a Conflict Between Fish and People

Dan Bacher dispels the myth that corporate water interests and their political allies would have you believe about preserving the Califorina Delta and Central Vallley rivers.

This is not an issue of "fish versus people versus fish," nor "fish versus jobs." The battle to save the Delta, the largest estuary on the West Coast of the Americas, really comes down to a conflict between a future based on sustainable fishing, farming and recreation or a future based on corporate agribusiness irrigating toxic, drainage-impaired land that should never have been farmed at the expense of Delta and Sacramento Valley farms and healthy fisheries.
