President Joe Biden's administration has agreed to investigate how California manages its water.
SACRAMENTO -- President Joe Biden's administration has agreed to investigate how California manages its water after some Native American tribes and environmental groups complained the state's policies are"rooted in white supremacy."
The tribes say the state is relying on outdated rules that have led to overgrowths of toxic algae and cyanobacteria, which prevent the Single Springs Band of Miwok Indians and the Winnemem Wintu Tribe from performing their cultural, religious and subsistence practices. Little Manila Rising, a nonprofit based in Stockton, says the algae blooms"spread like a lime green film across the surface of the water ...
The agreements"are an embodiment of the injustice that's at the core in many respects of our water rights system," said Stephanie Safdi, an attorney with the Stanford Environmental Law Clinic who is representing the tribes and environmental groups.
