State Water Board Approves Increased Flows for the Lower San Joaquin River 
Members of California Indian Tribes spoke in support of the San Joaquin water flow standard at the hearing.
“The destruction of the rivers is genocide on the fish and the genocide on fish is the genocide of the indigenous people of these rivers,” Mahlija Florendo, Yurok/Karuk/Hupa, and organizer for Save California’s Salmon, told the board before the vote. “So I am here today to tell you that these flows are critical to the land, the rivers, the fish and the people. No dams, no diversions,...

I have written several letters demanding the "progressive" Council members (who constitute a majority in the middle o...
