We don't know how many delta smelt they're killing at the pumps, but they essentially evacuate the south delta every few days.

We are at a critical threshold. We are going to make decisions within the next year that are either going to fix the delta, or we are going to use it essentially as a way station to transport water to Southern California.

The delta can't be fixed unless we fix the San Joaquin -- and the San Joaquin can't be fixed unless water is allowed to run the length of that river. That's the bottom line.

This is a watery landfill. You can see there's no pride in the river here.

The San Joaquin is a hard-working river. But it can't continue to take the abuse.

The (department) and the Department of Fish and Game have essentially ignored the requirements of the California Endangered Species Act.
