Attorneys for state and [COLOR=#366388 !important][COLOR=#366388 !important]federal [COLOR=#366388 !important]agencies[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] joined in a proposed settlement over the tiny Delta smelt, agreeing to allow diversions of some water from rivers to farms but putting conditions on any such pumping.

Here's a Washington Times article that gives some details of the original issue.

Whoever smelt it dealt it.

I think they're facing a balancing act that they've been putting off for too long. It's certainly not the first state and won't be the last. There's never a clear cut answer when it's nature vs. food and jobs. I hope they can find a good balance where nature can survive along with the people at the other end.

The fish will adapt. That's how it's done. They will evolve. Just like evolution.

Fish vs. Man, temp truce.

Overall, how do you feel about the smelt/water dispute?

I stand with the fish!

Give the water to the farmers.

Can't they all just get along? How about a compromise?

Smelt? What's a smelt?
