Delta
Editorial
From SF Chronicle - Friday, May 18, 2012
Coalition response...This editorial references "implied goal - unlimited water for
all..." yet the authorizing legislation and the governing guidelines of
developing the Bay Delta Conservation Plan makes no reference to such a status.
There is another factor that many Californians forget when it comes to a
reliable and dependable water supply for Central Valley farmers: much of the
food they depend on comes from these very farms. It is consumers who will
ultimately pay the price if the Plan fails. A blog at Smithsonian.com (http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/design/2012/04/futureproofing-california-farmland/)
on April 25 said it most clearly: "if this food production powerhouse
falters due to drought, failed hydraulic infrastructure, or insufficient
economic resources to support existing systems, the grocery store landscape and
the contents of refrigerators everywhere will change."
Finding a solution to the water
supply and environmental issues in the Delta are equally important, according
to the law. It is irresponsible to abandon the Bay Delta Conservation
Plan when so much is at stake for 38 million Californians who feed their
families with safe and dependable California produce.
