Latest Bay-Delta suit tries new tactic: public trust

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Three environmental groups filed a suit yesterday against the Department of Water Resources and the California State Water Resources Control Board in Sacramento County Superior Court, calling for an injunction against water diversion from the Bay-Delta, alleging a violation of the public trust doctrine.

Michael Jackson, an attorney representing the groups, said the decline of king salmon runs in recent years was one of the reasons the lawsuit was filed.

The lawsuit was filed by the California Water Impact Network, the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance and AquAlliance.
