Trump Signs Executive Order to Redirect 100 Billion Gallons of Water to Southern California, Prioritizing Delta Smelt Protection
Jan 21, 2025, 01:49 AM
On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled "Putting People over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California." This action aims to prioritize the water needs of Southern Californians by redirecting water resources that were previously allocated to protect the delta smelt fish. The order is expected to allow for the delivery of up to 100 billion gallons of water per year to the region, which has been facing challenges related to water scarcity and wildfires. The move has been interpreted as a reversal of policies implemented by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who had focused on environmental protections. Trump's directive is seen as a significant shift in water management strategy for Southern California.
