Smelt may pay price for healthy estuary
Story

Coalition response...Peter Gleick was wrong when he published recent reports on agricultural water conservation and he’s still wrong, according to the report issued by the Public Policy Institute of California. Irrigation experts have been saying for years that agricultural water conservation is limited. Gleick is about the only one left clinging to these fantastic conservation assumptions. The tide is changing. Policy-makers and the academic community as a whole are realizing that we can’t meet California’s future water supply needs by sacrificing California’s farms.
Smart water policies will cultivate economic, environmental health

From San Jose Mercury News – Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011
Coalition response...The Public Policy Institute of California released a report this week on managing California’s water. The authors acknowledged that farmers are businessmen and water conserved on California farms does not create a new supply for other uses. Instead, the water is used on other crops or to recharge the groundwater basin. It is important for people not to fall into the trap of “millions of acre-feet of water can be conserved in agriculture.” The only way to conserve this amount would be fallow acres and drive farmers out of business.
