When Donald Trump was campaigning he said that water hitting the ocean from California's rivers was waisted and should go to large Central Valley agribusiness. He promised to do something about it. The water he promised is same water that feeds the San Fransisco Bay and Sacramento and Klamath Rivers. It is the same water that is barely keeping California's salmon and fishing industry holding on, and that currently feeds the state's drinking water supply. He is now turning his promise into a reality with a plan that delivers 22% more water to large Central Valley agribusiness and power companies.

There are only three days left to comment on the Trump Water Plan.

Trump dos not care about the Tribes, commercial  fishermen, or coastal communities that rely on clean water and salmon. He has even gone as far as to suppress a scientific review of the project. A  leaked copy  of the review shows that the plan threatens the continued existence of winter and spring run salmon, summer steelhead trout, and Souther Resident killer whales. 

The Trump Water Plan impacts the Sacramento, Feather, American, McCloud, Pit Trinity, Klamath, San Joaquin and Yuba Rivers because all of these rivers feed the Central Valley Federal and state water projects. 

The man in charge of this plan is Secretary of Interior David Bernhardt. He is a former lawyer/lobbyist for the oil and corporate agriculture industries and worked for the powerful Westlands Water District, which regularly litigates and lobbies against salmon and water protections. An investigation revealed that Bernhardt has lobbied for Westlands since taking a job regulating them.

The Trump Water Plan or the Reinitiation of Consultation on the Coordinated Long-Term Operation of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project” is a blueprint for California Salmon Extinction and will impact millions of people’s drinking water and the remaining salmon in the state, and the Tribes, fishermen, and coastal  communities that rely on salmon fishing. 

Please tell the Trump administration and state of California to reject the Trump water  plan.
