Water Rights and Special Interests.

California farm operators are still 90% White and this reality in California’s water rights system impacts the water flows of the SF Bay-Delta. According to watchdogs, these special interests are determining the Delta tunnel project and leaving tribes and communities of color out of the plan.

Guests: Abraham Mendoza, Senior Adviser, Community Water Center, Sacramento, CA; Cintia Cortez, Geologist, Assistant Policy Analyst, Restore the Delta, Stockton, CA.

And while recent storms are helping snowpack and reservoirs, groundwater basins will take time to replenish. Climate change is pushing these fluctuations to the extreme. How to better manage water?
