Delta
Story
From High Desert News - Monday, Aug. 20, 2012
Coalition response...This well-written piece accurately portrays the problems and solutions
facing California's beleaguered Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. History has
proven that current operations in the Delta have failed to provide water to
family farmers and 25 million Californians while at the same time protecting
the region's ecosystem. Doing nothing to improve this situation means more of
the same. The Governor's proposal to construct two tunnels and shift the water
intakes to the north Delta offers several benefits---the new intakes would be
equipped with modern screens to prevent threatened and endangered fish from
entering the system and separate water designated for farms and people from the
water flowing through the Delta. The result would be a reliable water supply
for those who depend on it and an improved Delta ecosystem. The Governor's
proposal demonstrates the leadership that is needed to secure California's water
future. The continued involvement of public water agencies, State and federal
regulators and environmentalists is an indication that a positive outcome for
both water users and the environment is still likely.
