It’s a balancing act between the two. There are also farmers in the delta. The falling price of imported asparagus has been giving them fits. Adding in salinated irrigation water would help them not at all. ---

I wonder how many thousands of years it would take Trump to realize that if cops stopped being so trigger happy with regards to black people, and were held accountable when they were out of line that the players would stop kneeling during the anthem all by themselves. ---

There are huge considerations here, beyond the estuary. Remember those floods last year? The whole delta is a mish mash of old levies and weird constructs that artificially re-route water. One thing that is being done with the water now is to try and rebuild the natural delta, which could then act as a flood barrier for vulnerable communities. Similar to the way that marsh land near New Orleans and other southern coastal communities used to work. The estuaries are also non-trivial, but I’ll get off my soap box. The man is an ignorant buffoon. ---
