Delta
Editorial
From Stockton Record - Monday, July 30, 2012
Coalition response...Concern with the quality of the Delta's water and ecosystem is an
integral part of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. People need to remember that
the BDCP and the two tunnels proposed last week by Gov. Brown are still a work
in progress. Separating water used to grow food and
to meet the water supply needs of 25 million Californians from the water needed
for fish is common sense. That's what the Delta tunnels are designed to do.
Despite what this editorial
suggests and others have claimed, new water was never an objective of BDCP. The
$150 million spent by water suppliers, not taxpayers, was to develop a reliable
supply of already-contracted-for water.
Comparing the tunnels to the
proposed Peripheral Canal of 1982 should include some additional facts. The
1982 proposal would have sent a maximum of 22,000 cubic feet per second of
water through the canal. The size of the planned diversion is a much smaller
9,000 cfs.
