Fewer job losses linked to Delta, drought

Story

from Contra Costa Times – Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010

Coalition viewpoint…The current report proves that drought and environmental restrictions in the Delta created negative impacts to those California farmers and farmworkers who rely on water deliveries that flow through the Delta. Water deliveries are projected to be higher this year than in the past two years, which means more planted acres and less farmworkers forced to stand in unemployment lines. A similar report at the end of this year would further demonstrate the dependence by farmers on a reliable water supply. Environmental restrictions and drought have adversely affected that reliability in the past and will continue to do so until California’s water infrastructure is improved.
