US Senator Dianne Feinstein lobbied the Obama administration to divert more water this year to agricultural in the San Joaquin Valley — a move that environmentalists saycould decimate fish populations in Northern California, the Chron reports. After Feinstein sided with Republican Congress members, the Obama administration agreed to divert water during this month’s heavy rains to reservoirs for agriculture. As a result, there will be much less freshwater flowing into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta this year. Fish populations, including salmon, are already in serious trouble because of the drought.
