Coalition response...The author correctly explains the importance of reservoirs during dry
times like we are currently experiencing and the need to increase storage in
the future. Just as important is the need to resolve the movement of water
through the Delta to 25 million Californians and 3 million acres of farmland
that grows food for all of us. Federal regulations written to protect
endangered fish have created roadblocks to water deliveries and offset the
value of our reservoirs in providing water when needed. These regulations took
away more than 800,000 acre-feet of water, that's 260 billion gallons of water,
from farms, cities and businesses earlier this year. The loss of this water
also caused the reduction in water deliveries announced earlier this year from
the two major water systems in California.
This federal roadblock emphasizes
the need to move forward with the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP), which is
designed to create a reliable water supply and restore the Delta ecosystem.
Moving the intake location for water to the north Delta from the south benefits
fish and provides a delivery reliability that is crucial to California. More
than 100,000 acres of habitat will be created through the efforts of BDCP,
which is the best option that we have in securing a water future that benefits
our state.
BAY DELTA CONSERVATION PLAN
Letter
From Sacramento Bee - Monday, April 1, 2013
Coalition response...Recycling should play a role in water management in the future, as well
as conservation. But neither will provide a reliable, affordable water supply
needed by almost 4,000 San Joaquin Valley farmers to grow the food that we
depend on. Nor will recycling and conservation improve habitat in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan and its goals,
to create a reliable water supply and restore the Delta ecosystem, provides the
best opportunity for a secure water future in our state.
