Toxic algal bloom solution targets water from San Joaquin River
The San Joaquin River that passes Manteca and Lathrop just as it reaches the Delta is ground zero for yet another fight over water. This time it’s to reduce the growing threat of toxic algal bloom in the Delta that pose a threat to humans and pets alike. And if emergency petitions filed last month with the State Water Control Resources Board succeed, it will throw a major wrench into state efforts to deal with allocating dwindling water supplies as California enters its fourth year of drought.
