The Department of Interior has released a report that backs fish over farms in the Klamath River basin.

The report was released after the Wall Street Journal published an article detailing its contents and the reason why it was being held back. It was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and water used for fishing and recreational purposes would generate billions of dollars more than is currently made from farms.
