California’s massive water projects, its authority to clean its air, federal support for offshore wind and disaster aid for wildfires all depend on cooperation with the new Trump administration. … Trump’s reelection has unnerved environmental groups that are watching over the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and its imperiled fish. At stake are the state’s massive projects that bring Northern California water south to farmers and cities. In 2016, Trump famously scorned California for wasting water by allowing its major rivers to reach the ocean. More recently, at a September campaign speech in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump said he will increase the amount of water these projects deliver, promising Southern Californians “more water than almost anybody has.”
