The following response is posted to the above
articles.
Coalition response...What
happens if nothing is done to secure a reliable supply of water through the
Delta and an improved ecosystem for the estuary? I suggest the results could be
far reaching. Consider: The water that flows through the Delta reaches 25
million Californians to support their lifestyles and businesses. Farmers use
water that flows through the Delta to grow a safe and affordable supply of
food, which allows families to not rely on imported foods.
Doing nothing, which seems to be where this article
is pointing, does more harm than good. California only has a half-year of water
storage available and that supply quickly becomes stretched during years of
drought. This year is a good example. Not much rain and snow has fallen to
replenish our supplies. As a result, much of the carryover supply from last
year has already been allocated and farmers are only receiving 40 and 65
percent of their water supply from State and federal sources.
Doing nothing means California's future water supply will continue to be
unreliable. Not only can food production drop, on-farm jobs will dwindle. Too
often water users have been forced into courtrooms to battle for their water.
This scenario could repeat itself if a reliable water supply is not secured. Is
this really where we want to go?
