In the cross-hairs of the water war
Editorial

Coalition response...Yes, we should all be concerned with last year’s report by the State Water Board in response to a legislative directive that stated that more water needs to flow into the Delta. But it is important to remember that the authors of the report openly admitted that their work was restricted to only looking at the Delta and not other factors, such as Sacramento Valley water use or the flow of water to San Joaquin Valley farms and 25 million Californians. The authors advised that more work needs to be done before attempting to adopt any measures.

Coalition response...It’s easy to throw around terms like “subsidize” when it comes to water deliveries but most people do not understand the term. It would be interesting to learn how the blogger defines a water subsidy.
Also, it is important to recognize the off-farm value of crops produced on a farm. University economists apply a multiplier of three to crop value to arrive at a dollar contribution to the economy. These off-farm jobs include transportation, processing, marketing, etc. Also important are the lives that are touched as food produced on the farm finds its way to the dinner tables around the world.
