Coalition response...The biological opinions that mandate the flow of water through the Delta have found to be lacking in sound science by a federal judge who ordered parts to be rewritten. It is these same biological opinions that threaten the water level of New Melones Reservoir, as pointed out by the Oakdale and South San Joaquin water districts. An extensive study has concluded that strict adherence to these federal guidelines will result in dangerously low levels in the reservoir, which proves the judge was correct in his ruling. Instead of using emotional rhetoric to argue against the study’s conclusions, critics like this author need to bring sound science to the discussion to back up their claims.
