The greenies got lots of political mileage out of Klamath. They're after a lot more. This issue will replace global warming, which has about worn out its welcome.
What is not being explored/researched is how the minnows survive in areas where a drought completely isolates them from a continuous water supply. But when the rains come again, they're back doing their thing. These fish have evolved to be survivors. For example, there were attempts to breed them in captivity that failed until it was discovered they only breed in turbid water (such as murky water stirred up by spring runoff). The critters are hardy, but the envirowackos and their press friends play it for a disaster of the first magnitude.
