During the visit to the Los Angeles burns on Friday, President Trump tried to persuade California officials that the state's water management system needs to carry out thorough reform.

Trump announced that he will approve an administrative order of "opening northern pumps and valves."

State government officials at No. 69 Fire Station, Los Angeles Fire Station in Palisz, Pacific.

"We must have water. You are talking about infinite water," Trump said. "You will never use it, you will never be short, you will not have such a thing. When you do this, you will have a lot of water to extinguish the fire."

Experts said that Trump's statement tried to respond to fire response and local water supply and How to manage water The data in Northern California is inaccurate. Water resource managers and researchers said that cities in Southern California are currently not short of water, and reservoirs in the area are in Historically Following a large number of supplies in 2023 and 2024.

Earlier this week, Trump Order "People-oriented" ordered federal agencies to restart work and transport more water from the Sacraonor-St. Huajin River Delta to other parts of the state.

Trump also said he hopes to linked the federal assistance to the recovery of mountain fire with the changes in California's water policy.

Governor's Office Speaking in social media This week, California "pumped water as much as possible before the Trump era" and "Southern California is not short of water."

Although the reservoir supply is sufficient, with the rapid spread of the fire, the local water supply system has reached the limit.

Newson last week Order to conduct investigations Fire hydrants and water pressure loss, as well as insufficient water available in the Pacific Palishaz Reservoir Stop repairEssence

"When the fire occurred, Southern California had sufficient water availability," said Bruce Reznik, executive director of the Los Angeles Water Guard, the environment advocacy. "It is impractical to improve the water safety solution proposed by the president, and it is based on the wrong understanding of the state's water supply system."

When Trump visited North Carolina earlier on Friday, he intends to find "why they don't put water."

Trump also tried to change California's water regulations and policies during the first term. But when his government Water rules Due to the weakening environmental protection in the Delta region, the state and environmental organizations successfully challenged these changes in court.

This has cleared the road for Bayeon government and the New Termi government to formulate current plans and support biology opinions. These opinions determine how much water can be extracted and how to manage river water.

These rules manages the operation of the central valley project and the national water project, and the operation of the dam, hear tanks and pumping plants in the national water project. These two projects are the world's largest water system, providing water supply for millions of acres of farmland and about 30 million people.

The pumping of water supply for farms and urban water has caused ecological degradation in the Delta region. Here is listed as threatened or endangered fish including hard -headed catfish, two kinds of Qinuk salmon, long -fin hugs, Delta hoe fish and green sturgeon.

Trump said that these changes will be conducive to California's agriculture and say that Central Valley Farmland has been deprived because "they discharge water into the Pacific Ocean."

Trump is seeking to change California's water policy, and Newerm is promoting large -scale water infrastructure projects, including a plan that costs $ 20 billion Build a water tunnel Below the delta, and plan Construction site reservoir Located in Northern California, this is the first new main reservoir in the state for decades.

Trump did not discuss these projects during the visit.

Calla and Director Carahazmes said that Trump's plan may eventually fail Damage to the water supply of farms and communities And threatened fish population.

Environmentalists said Trump's orders may have a catastrophic impact on salmon and other fish, as well as the deteriorating ecosystems in the Delta region.

Reznik said that the federal government can help the Los Angeles region by providing more investment to improve the recovery capacity of the local water supply system instead of Trump's approach.

"Investment in wastewater recycling, rainwater collection, groundwater purification and protection will be prepared for our future," Reznik said. "Sending more water to the Central Valley Agriculture."

Ritznik and other critics said that the changes in Trump will threaten the ecosystems that are endangered and the Sacramento-St. Golden River Delta. The system supply water to farmland and about 30 million people.

The central valley project managed by the federal government will be conducive to the agriculture of the St. Huajin River Valley from the Delta. Trump enjoys some strongest support in the state.

"Every American should know what the president is doing here," Reznik said. "At a moment of extreme crisis and tragedy, he is using this emergency to enrich the pocket of his rich donors -in this case, it is an industrialized agricultural producer of the St. The interests of others ""
