Save water: Retire ruined land
Letter
from Modesto Bee – Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010
Your Oct. 4 story "Water users alarmed by salmon report" (Page A-1) includes comments by representatives of Modesto, Turlock and Oakdale irrigation districts that remind one of Chicken Little's cry that the sky is falling.
Coalition viewpoint…Taking water from agriculture and giving it to “fish and wildlife” will not solve the problems threatening the Delta. More and more science is pointing to causes other than water deliveries as having more impact on Delta fish and habitat. Predator fish are eating juvenile salmon…ocean conditions are robbing salmon of a needed food supply…wastewater discharges from the City of Sacramento are destroying the food supply for Delta smelt…the list goes on. Taking water from our farmers will only serve to increase the consumer’s reliance on an imported food supply.
