BAY DELTA CONSERVATION PLAN
Letter
From Sacramento Bee - Friday, March 22, 2013
Coalition response...The project is designed to provide reliability to move water in the
amount that is legally allowed by current contracts. The amount of water that
flows through the Delta that would be moved through the project is based on
what river conditions would allow; sometimes more and sometimes less. Visit www.farmwater.org/exportthrottle.pdf to

Coalition response...Department of Water Resources Director Mark Cowin stated (http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_21952433/mark-cowin-levees-alone-wont-secure-californias-water)
that "California has invested to keep key sections of Delta levees strong
-- $300 million since 2005 -- and will continue to do so. But to rely solely on
levees to safeguard a water supply critical to the state's nearly $2 trillion
economy would be negligent." Cowin's column correctly explained that to
solely rely on the Delta levees to safeguard the water supply for 25 million
Californians and 3 million acres of farmland would be an unwise choice.
A single focus on the levees does
not provide a reliable water supply as mandated by the State Legislature in
2009. Levees also do not restore the Delta ecosystem. The Bay Delta
Conservation Plan, which includes the twin tunnels under the Delta,
accomplishes the legislative goals and is California's best choice for a secure
water future.
