The environmental lobby and its allies attribute the current water crisis to historic drought induced by global warming, but they have it wrong. California has an amazing irrigation system that could withstand 5 years of drought. The principle is simple: water is captured during the wet years for use in the dry ones. But, for decades, environmental regulations have put more and more water off limits to people. For the sake of supposedly persecuted fish species, such as salmon and the 3-inch bait fish, called the delta smelt, government authorities have diverted enormous supplies of water from human usage. How much water has been lost? In the past 7 years, nearly 4 million acre feet of water that could have been used by families and farmers has been flushed into the ocean. That is not a result of global warming or drought. It is the result of a government run amok.

California experienced severe water supply shortages in 2009, which led to economic disruption across the state, incl. losses in agricultural areas in the western portion of the Central Valley ¿ areas already experiencing declines in the housing industry and the economic downturn in general. At the same time, several fish species whose habitat lie at the heart of California¿s water supply system and throughout its northern rivers are in decline and some face the possibility of extinction. This situation too has had economic implications, resulting in job and income losses in northern California. Contents of this report: (1) Intro.; (2) What is Drought?; (3) Drought in California; (4) Regulatory Restrictions Affecting Water Deliveries; (5) California Water Rights. Illus.
