Endangered: Delta fish, and economy?
Editorial
From SD Union-Tribune – Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011
Coalition response...This editorial is correct in calling for people to pay increased attention to the Delta, since it supplies irrigation water to several million acres of farm land and drinking water to 25 million Californians. The recent report is the first of several that will be considered by the Delta Stewardship Council. Council members have been chosen to serve based on their expertise and commitment to securing a reliable water future for California. They deserve our support.

Coalition response...The opening statement makes no sense at all. If more water is taken out of the Delta than nature provides, then there wouldn’t be any left. The writer makes numerous assumptions that do not include the facts---
1. Water users have publicly stated that they will pay for the water they receive from a new conveyance system.
2. Cotton acreage is down from years ago when it approached a million acres; this year’s estimates place it at only 300,000 acres...and people are buying cotton products.
3. Farmers have adopted water-use efficiency measures. From 1967 to 2007, applied water use fell by 14.6% while crop value increased 84% and production volume almost doubled...that's called doing more with less.
