im curious what /out/'s stance on delta smelt and trying to maintain biodiversity in californias water ways?

seems like the argument is that the smelt is not worth the hinderance to growing food or the inconvenience of rationing water in an urban setting. ya/na?

and isnt the argicultural issue that they would no longer be able to flood fields for cheap food and have to use drip irrigation which would be more labor intensive? (meaningful jobs growing more food)
