Conservation Groups Lawsuit Challenges President Trump’s ‘Dangerous’ Water Grab in California’s Central Valley
On Monday, Conservation groups sued the Trump administration for pumping excessive amounts of water out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in a way that harms imperiled fish.
The lawsuit says that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation violated the Endangered Species Act by exceeding regulations intended to limit the Central Valley Project’s impacts on Central Valley steelhead, North American green sturgeon, and Chinook salmon.
