Conservation advocates sue California over State Water Project
Original: Avert 'ecological tailspin': Advocates sue California over one of the largest water systems in the world
Environmental advocates have filed a lawsuit against California over the operation of the State Water Project, one of the largest water systems in the world. The suit warns the system's water exports risk pushing species and habitats into an 'ecological tailspin'. The Los Angeles Times reported the case, which adds to ongoing legal battles over balancing water deliveries to cities and farms with protections for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem.
Why now: Water policy conflicts between supply needs and ecosystem protection are intensifying in California.
