This post was my first one in the blog, and my opinion on this has shifted slightly since I posted it. While I still maintain that humans come before fish, I agree that we're being quite wasteful. My current opinion is that we take more steps to curb water use (no commercial car washes, NO outdoor watering, etc) before we worry about cutting our downstream flow. Agreed.

If humans needed the water to survive I think the choice would be clear. But do we really need to kill off any species of animal so we can have clean cars and green lawns? I'm not an animal rights adovocate or a tree hugger but I don't consider all of the wasteful ways we use water or as you call them "prioriites of humans' worth endangering any species of animal.
