Welcome California to water restrictions like us in Texas.

I don't know, but think of all the other water-related necessities.... toilets, showers, bath-houses (hmmm, that may be a good thing), car washes, lawns, flowers, pools, bubblers, etc. All this because a judge cannot put things in perspective.

Ummmm....if they turn off the pumps, how many humans will die? None. But southern Californians might have to replace their lawns with rocks and cactus.
It's actually a bigger threat to central valley farming.
I'm willing to bet this doesn't apply to turning off the pumps when the rivers are near flood. Just turning them down during the dry season.
Lame reporters.

Has anyone every actually proved that the pumps suck in a significant number of fish? Most salmon head north up the Sacramento to spawn, not down into the Delta where the pumps are. Plus, if the intakes for those pumps did not screen out fish and other things in the water, they'd get fouled and the transported water would be putrid.

It's the salt water intrusion into the delta that causes the most problems.
The southern Californians want to dig a canal around the delta so they can suck unlimited water from further up steam.
Northern Californians having watched what happened to the Owens valley say 'Not a chance in hell, pave over your lawns!'
At the end of the day you can caste this as enviro kook vs. S. Cal but it's not.
It's fisherman vs. farmer, with all of Northern Cal basically saying, 'No more summer water available hear, move along.'

Haven't you seen the GE commercials? They've been making ocean water drinkable for years now. Try as they might the environmentalist can never hold us down.

It's basically possible to trade a barrel of oil (or any other energy source) for a barrel of fresh water.
That's rarely a good trade.
