Bay Delta
Conservation Plan
From: William
Reilly, The California Majority Report
Coalition
response...The Bay
Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) was commissioned with two objectives, creating a
reliable water supply and restoring the Delta ecosystem. Years of scientific
study have developed the present-day version of BDCP to accomplish those two
goals. Recommendations that seek to insert other tasks into the BDCP process
should be done in a way that doesn't overstep other processes where they may
already be underway.
Water managers in
California recognize that a diverse suite of challenges demand a robust toolkit
of solutions. BDCP implementation will not hamper efforts to develop new
solutions to these challenges, but will help to improve supply reliability and
improve the Delta ecosystem. Local agencies will continue to complete local
water projects to meet local and regional needs, as they do now, after BDCP is
implemented. We will continue to update, refine and implement the State
Water Plan (Bulletin 160) to meet broader challenges. All of these separate
activities are essential to moving forward.
Successfully
preparing for California's future water needs is critical, and will come
through our ongoing efforts to give the challenges that exist and arise
appropriate attention. Attempting to shoehorn them into the BDCP process gives
none the consideration they are due.
