Delta 

TV news 
From PBS Newshour - Thursday, Aug. 2, 2012 

Coalition response...Water suppliers have spent $150 million toward solutions that would provide a reliable water supply and a restored ecosystem in the Delta. The work of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and the Delta Stewardship Council has been based on science. If California is going to secure its water future, then the efforts to resolve the problems of the Delta must continue. To step back and do nothing, or to do one project over the other (water supply/ecosystem restoration) would be an invitation to disaster.

Coalition viewpoint...It's not an "Old Song, New Lyrics." Current efforts to establish a reliable water supply for 25 million Californians and farmers who grow an affordable and healthy food supply and at the same time restore the Delta ecosystem is not the same proposal from 1982. Since that time, next to nothing has been done to resolve the water supply issue and the Delta's ecosystem other than redirect water from farms, homes and businesses for environmental purposes that, by all measures, have failed.  Years of scientific study and $150 million provided by public water agencies have brought us to the current proposal by Gov. Jerry Brown and U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. If California does not move forward and fix its water supply problems with improved conveyance and protections in the Delta, then we will be inviting disaster.
