Water Supply

Building Rivers - a New Era of California Water Solutions

Blog

by Barry Nelson

From Switchboard - Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Coalition response... The assertion that California's dam building days are over is an oversimplification of the water supply challenges we face today and in the future. It is widely agreed that a new dam on the San Joaquin River, the very waterway Nelson proclaims as a restoration success story, would provide water for Central Valley farms and more certainty for the environment. No credible water resource official believes that a stable water supply future can be accomplished solely through conservation and water markets unless we abandon farms to move water to purposes deemed more important by writers like Barry Nelson.

CSPA Action Alert: Clean Farms - Clean Water Campaign

From IndyBay - Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Coalition response... This blog contains no credible references to water quality problems attributed to agriculture. Rather than swallow this nonsense hook, line and sinker, it is better to rely on scientific studies that point to real problems that can be solved, such as the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which dumps tons of ammonium into the Delta system every day. Farm bashers that flail about blindly do nothing to move the discussion toward a solution that will actually help solve water quality and water supply problems.
