Delta
Some worry officials will leap, not fully look at Delta
Story
From Stockton Record - Friday, March 2, 2012
Coalition response...Alex Breitler does an good job explaining why calls for a cost/benefit analysis on new Delta conveyance are both premature and extraordinarily difficult. You can't put a cost on a project until you know what it will look like. No one yet knows what a new canal or tunnel project will include and we can't possibly know the cost until we do. In addition, there are elements of the overall project, such as ecosystem benefits that people are reluctant to quantify monetarily.
It's a lot like making a decision to buy a new pick-up. You have to tell the dealer how you want it equipped before you can be quoted a price. That's the same dilemma confronting the state's water leaders. They're still considering options.

BDCP and the path of least resistance

Coalition response...The author has jumped to the conclusion that a tunnel option as part of the BDCP is the worst thing that could happen to the Delta ecosystem. I have yet to see a final report from BDCP that says it's work is done and that a tunnel is included. Too many critics of the BDCP and other efforts to resolve the issues surrounding the Delta are quick to jump ahead of the planning process to make their statements. Wouldn't it be better to work together toward that final report in a manner that benefits all, both the environment and water users?
