San Francisco Voted to Allow Water to Flow into Ocean, -

California: The Bay Delta Plan that would require the rivers in the San Joaquin watershed to maintain 40% of unimpeded flow into the ocean from February to June, more than twice the current amount of water, which would decrease the amount of water to farmers.  The city of San Francisco voted for the Bay Delta Plan to spite President Trump as he threatened to sue if it was implemented, as it would interfere with the operation of key reservoirs owned by the federal government in the San Joaquin Valley.  If this plan is implemented, it will drive up water rates as the city is compelled to seek out new, pricey supplies, such as desalination.

Update: Surprisingly, San Francisco Mayor London Breed sided with conservatives and vetoed the Supervisors' unanimous vote for water restrictions that would affect the city's own water supply.
