CVP-Wide Water Allocation at 91 Percent
Blog
By Barry Nelson
From NRDC – Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Coalition response...It’s unlikely that Barry Nelson could have gotten away with saying on average Japan is just fine, despite an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that has affected a specific region of their country. That’s what makes attacking farm water users so easy for him. One region may be suffering from water supply cuts and increased unemployment but Nelson doesn’t care. His goal is to talk in averages and generalities, which draws the public’s attention away from the serious farm water supply problems that are as undeniable as Japan’s catastrophic events.
The water supply cuts to south of Delta CVP water users are a result of environmental restrictions that started in 1992. A look at delivery numbers prior to that and in the years since shows that cuts began not because of any “junior” water rights contract status but rather as a result of ESA restrictions on Delta export operations.
Uh-oh, the state drought is over

Coalition response...This editorial is right on. It should be required reading for any individual who makes decisions regarding water use in our state.
(NOTE: The CFWC comment that was posted to various news stories the past two days emphasizing the need for increased storage and an improved conveyance system in response to an end to the drought declaration is also being posted to the following stories.)
