Coalition response...Water is a statewide issue and its availability affects public water
agencies in multiple ways, as pointed out by the author. Sometimes local water
suppliers take a position on a measure that fails to fully reflect the needs of
all users throughout California. Such is the position taken by the San Diego
County Water Authority and a few others who endorse the construction of a
single tunnel through the Delta rather than a larger, more useful facility.
A single tunnel, with a capacity
of 3,000 cubic feet per second, would reduce the amount of water available for
many San Joaquin Valley farmers by a third; leaving about 750,000 acres with no
water supply in a normal year. This is a size that is equivalent to three times
the acreage of the city of San Diego. Further impacts on San Joaquin Valley
food producers can be found at http://farmwater.org/BDCP-NRDC_alt.pdf.
A twin-tunnel proposal currently
under consideration by the Bay Delta Conservation Plan has a capacity to move
9,000 cubic feet per second of water. This supply would provide the contracted
amount of water by users while protecting existing water rights, meaning the
water currently used by farmers and others in the Sacramento Valley would be
preserved.
