Unfortunately, much of the water that southern California uses to wash
their cars, and hose-off their side walks comes from northern California
where the salmon need it.



No, what is unfortunate is that your fairy tale version of this issue
is grossly misleading and contradicted by too many real facts.
Salmon's decline issues are over fishing, your Central Valley
agriculture and the current cyclic drought and not your misguided
attempt to put this into your eco fringe bag.

SoCal's water consumption would have very little, if anything, to do
with the N. Cal salmon decline. Yes 60% of SoCal's water is imported
yet the majority is coming from the Colorado River drainage as well as
the Owens valley. There is diversion from the Bay/Delta Ag use to
human use but that water is coming from the southern edge of the
salmon range and has been reduced over the last decade. Claiming
salmon decline in the Northern Coastal region is somehow caused by
washing cars and hosing streets is a sound bite pandering to your Eco
base. It does nothing to address the real issue of unsustainable
growth in a desert but we already had that conversation when you
supported the idea of damming the desert and encouraging growth where
it shouldn't be in the Ceara region of Brazil.

Limited water sure make Hydroponics sound more attractive.

.....still we still snip 12 lines of political crap along with this 3
lines of OT propaganda.
