[quote=Anonymous]OMG, enough of the lies about the fish.

Most notably, experts on California water policy said Wednesday that there is no basis for linking the existence of the Southern California fires or challenges in the firefighting effort to the water that is kept in the north of the state to protect the smelt and other species and ecosystems. Southern California does not have a shortage of water for fighting the fires.

Facts First: This is false. Newsom has never refused to sign a “water restoration declaration.” In fact, there is no such document, as Newsom’s office said on social media on Wednesday and experts on California water policy confirmed.

"Whatever the merits or flaws of Newsom’s position on the protection of the smelt in the northern Delta, all but three of the state’s major reservoirs were filled at or above their historical averages as of Thursday morning.

While it is true there were some dry hydrants in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles amid the extreme water demand of the firefighting effort, that significant problem was related to local logistical factors affected by the area’s mountainous geography – and possibly to the fact that a smaller reservoir located in the Pacific Palisades was closed for repairs, an issue Newsom ordered Friday to be independently investigated – not the absence of water in the Los Angeles region as a whole.
