Bay Area coalition calls delta plan a water grab

Story

from San Francisco Chronicle

Coalition viewpoint...There are numerous assumptions in this article that opens the door to wide-ranging comments that are not based on facts. It is easy to write and respond to claims that south-of-Delta water users will “increase” their water deliveries. Yet, the fact is that water deliveries are controlled by contracts already in place. Any supposed “increase” would have to go through a public review process.

The two goals of the BDCP is not a “consistent freshwater supply for exporters and removal of in-delta pumps that kill millions of protected fish and resulted in a federal order limiting diversions.” The factual goals are a reliable water supply and a restoration of the Delta environment. It will take all water users---upstream, downstream, in-Delta and others---to realize these two very important goals.
