    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The memorandum from the Executive Office of the President directs the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of the Interior to resume efforts to redirect more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to areas of California that need it. This action seeks to address the halt caused by a lawsuit filed by the State of California, which aimed to protect local fish species like the Delta smelt. The document also highlights the necessity of providing water to Southern California due to recent wildfires, emphasizing the need for a stable water supply and effective vegetation management. The agencies involved are expected to report progress and future recommendations within 90 days.

    Simple Explanation

    The President asked some government people to send more water to parts of California that really need it because of fires, even though this might upset some fish and people who care about them. Some people think this is not the best idea for the fish, but the President thinks helping the people is more important right now.
