Say what ya want about KALIFORNEEYA, and most of it is true. BUT go back a hundred years or so and there were some marvels of engineering there and in all the West, that boosted the food production capacity in this nation by leaps and bounds.

The purpose of those water projects was clear. There are intricacies to Western water laws I don't completely understand, but they were put in place as a sort of promise to folks that, should they choose to go out West, there would reliable sources of water to use in strategically important pursuits.

12% of our country's produce output is strategically important. A small run of an unremarkable species of fish is not.
