Happy Book Birthday to RIBBONS OF GREEN by @jfleck, which should be essential reading for anyone interested in the complex relationships between cities and nature, the ways that collective action can help us adapt to climate change, and the “big messy community conversations” we need to have to create policies that actually work.

160 megawatts. Two Equinix data centers proposed on golf course land in a city whose Day Zero water crisis still haunts the grid. The application doesn't disclose water use, emissions, or diesel capacity. Foxglove and the Housing Assembly filed objection. The land remembers what the contracts forget.

Tribes, enviros speak out against trailer bills to fast-track #DeltaTunnel project
“Delta tribes deserve a responsible and equitable approach to water management in the state that does not require jamming a tunnel through the Delta, destroying our ancestral homelands and waterways, or desecrating sacred sites and ancestral remains,” said Malissa Tayaba, Vice Chair with the #ShingleSpringsBand of #MiwokIndians.
by Dan Bacher
Mon, Aug 11, 2025 4:19PMSacramento, CA – "On an unusually mild summer day, Tribal leaders and environmental justice advocates met with legislators at the State Capitol on July 16 for the 2025 Day of Action for #WaterJustice.
"They urged the legislators to reject Governor Newsom’s proposed trailer bills that they say would fast-track the Delta Conveyance Project (#DCP) and bypass critical #EnvironmentalProtections at a time when the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is in unprecedented ecological crisis — and a number of fish species are on the edge of #extinction.
"The day-long event started with meetings between Tribal members, environmental advocates and legislators to urge support for 'equitable, science-based water solutions' that protect the #BayDelta and to reject the financially reckless Delta Conveyance Project that threatens ecosystems, Tribal sovereignty, and public health, according to a statement from #RestoreTheDelta.
[...]
"At the press conference on the Capitol steps, advocates called on lawmakers to reject trailer bills that would provide CEQA exemptions for the #DeltaConveyanceProject, circumventing existing law, court rulings and public opinion.
"Specifically, the coalition called on lawmakers to:
- Vote NO on SB 72 that undermines the #DeltaReformAct and sets arbitrary water supply targets;
- Vote YES on AB 362 that protects tribal beneficial uses of water and to;
- Vote YES on AB 263, extending emergency protections currently in place for the #ScottRiver and #ShastaRiver, a high priority for the recovery of #CohoSalmon.
"Speakers at the press conference included representatives from the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and the #WinnememWintu Tribe, as well as elected leaders and representatives from Restore the Delta, #SierraClub California, #FriendsOfTheRiver, #DefendersOfWildlife, #SanFranciscoBaykeeper and the #DeltaCountiesCoalition.
"Malissa Tayaba, Vice Chair with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, began the press conference emphasizing the harm that the Delta Tunnel would cause to Tribes and #disadvantaged communities.
" 'Delta tribes deserve a responsible and equitable approach to water management in the state that does not require jamming a tunnel through the Delta, destroying our #AncestralHomelands and waterways, or desecrating #SacredSites and ancestral remains,' said Tayaba. 'Our culture and identities are intrinsically tied to the Delta. There is no price tag worth paying that would ever justify the harm done to us or the unquantifiable costs that Tribes and disadvantaged communities would ultimately bear.'
"Gary Mulcahy, Government Liaison with the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, followed Tayaba by stating, “There is nothing about the Delta Tunnel Project that significantly benefits anyone except #BigAg and south of the Delta water agencies, while putting #EndangeredSpecies, tribal cultural resources, and disadvantaged communities and the viability of the S.F Bay-Delta itself at risk. #CEQA exemptions continue to attempt to erase Tribes from #WaterGovernance.”
[...]
" 'Instead of wasting ratepayer money to keep pushing this expensive environmental justice debacle, we need to sees investments in local water supply like #RecycledWater, and the Freshwater Pathways program that would improve Delta levees to keep communities safe and improve State Water Project reliability in an emergency. We urge a commitment to vote NO on the return the Delta Conveyance Project and Bay Delta Water Quality Control Plan bills,' Wagner said."

Murray-Darling Basin deal on 'Restoring Our Rivers'
"Australia is the driest inhabited continent and consequently, much of the fauna and flora are adapted to arid climates. But aridity is an extreme condition, and life is difficult. When we take water from their environment, we can push the flora and fauna to the limits of their survival, and over the edge to extinction. Returning environmental flows closer to their natural levels provides the platypus, rikali (water ‘rats’), fish, frogs, crayfish and other invertebrates the water they need to survive."
"Extracting too much water stops rivers from flowing, leading to a build-up of toxic pollutants including pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Too many nutrients can cause extensive algal growths which smother the surface resulting in deoxygenation and fish kills. Often these algae are toxic to humans, livestock and wildlife. When water stops flowing it warms up and becomes deoxygenated, conditions that few species can survive."
"The water buybacks are a vital initiative to restore the health of Australia’s major river system." Professor Catherine Yule is Professor of Ecology at the University of the Sunshine Coast

The global water crisis is not just about scarcity but also about justice. The opinion piece's author argues that the crisis's root causes are political and economic, not natural or technical. He calls for a radical transformation of the water governance system based on human rights, democracy, and ecological sustainability. #WaterCrisis #WaterJustice #WaterGovernance https://www.eco-business.com/opinion/the-roots-of-the-global-water-crisis/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

What happened to California's salmon season this year?
As Baykeeper science director Jon Rosenfield points out, the blame lies firmly with the state.
Gov. Newsom is actively blocking water quality updates that would protect fish, the environment, Tribal groups & communities across the state https://kqed.org/science/1983312/what-happened-to-californias-salmon-season-this-year #CAWater #WaterJustice #EnvironmentalJustice #CaliforniaWater #Salmon -
Indigenous leaders & environmental groups gathered at the Capitol yesterday to rally for #WaterJustice and specifically in support of 3 bills that would revamp the state’s approach to water rights.
As Baykeeper community advocate Julia Dowell noted, the new bills aim to "create a California where it's not just certain folks who have had this power for so long, who are getting all the water and who can illegally divert water with almost no penalty.” https://www.capradio.org/articles/2023/07/06/tribal-leaders-environmental-groups-rally-for-a-better-water-rights-system/ #CAwater #CaliforniaWater #environmentaljustice
