Coalition response...Much time and research has gone into finding solutions to a water
infrastructure problem that threatens California's future. Disagreement does
not exist that something needs to be done. Part of the research has already
been consideration of a 3,000 cfs conveyance tunnel under the Delta that
certain groups recently have introduced as a "new" idea. The Bay
Delta Conservation Plan studied this proposal a year ago according to BDCP
documentation here.
A smaller diversion would not
provide sufficient water to meet both urban and agricultural needs south of the
Delta. That solution would either leave millions of acres of productive
farmland without a reliable water supply, or it would require continued
reliance on moving water through the Delta. Continuing the status quo is not a
solution because it doesn't help fish and it doesn't deliver enough water - the
two reasons why a BDCP project is even being considered in the first place.
Water has been a contentious
issue in our state since the days of the Gold Rush. Leaders have stepped
forward at certain times in our history and the result has been bold decisions
for all Californians, such as the construction of the State Water Project. This
bold leadership is just as important today. The Governor's preferred
alternative is a larger, 9,000 cfs facility and we agree. It's the right
choice for California's water supply - and food supply - future.
