WATER SUPPLY
Editorial
By SF Chronicle - Thursday, March 24, 2011
Coalition response...It is good news that California rain and snowfall totals are well above normal for this time of year but our lack of adequate storage means much of the extra water we're receiving can't be saved for next summer when it will be dry again. The extra flows are well above any current environmental needs so capturing them won't create a problem for the ecosystem. The tragedy is that major water supply pumps for farms and millions of Californians shut down yesterday because there is no where to put anymore water. The reservoir capacity served by the pumps is full. We will undoubtedly look back at this abundance when fields are fallowed and gardens are dry and wonder why we failed to balance our water supply with sensible storage projects.
