Coalition follow-up
response...I see almost nothing
factual in the comments published by Barbara Barrigan-Parilla and Chris Gulick.
The SWRCB issues water rights permits for time and place of use. Water in
California is used over and over and over again, making it possible (and
common) for rights to be issued for multiple uses of the same water. Farmers in
the San Joaquin Valley have no intention, and are legally prevented, from
taking "the water away from Northern California users and fisheries."
SJV water users want a dependable system to deliver the water, which they
already have rights to.
Chris Gulick doesn't elaborate on
what "subsidy" he's talking about. If there are plans for a taxpayer
(or ratepayer) subsidy that benefits farmers it would be nice if he could tell
us specifically what it is. And as far as BDCP primarily benefitting "...a
segment of industry that provides a small fraction of the GDP for the
state," Gulick should know that 25 million Californians receive a portion
of their supply from water that flows through the Delta and it irrigates
approximately 3 million acres on almost 4,000 Westside farms from Patterson to
Bakersfield. Additionally, 100,000 acres of habitat restoration is a planned
part of BDCP, which should thrill Ms. Barrigan-Parilla, since "Restore the
Delta" is her organization's name.
