Coalition response...Storage is a vital part of resolving California's long-term water
issues. Work is currently underway in several venues to improve
California's water system for both supply and delivery. As noted by the two
authors, increased storage is a vital part of secure water future for our
state. They correctly identify several projects that are being studied that
would increase the supply of water needed for the future of our state.
The importance of storage
has long been recognized by water experts in California. A water bond that is
slated for the 2014 general ballot would provide funding to continue these
critical studies into increased storage facilities. Rumblings are being made
about downsizing the cost associated with the water bond, but the importance of
storage to the future of California is critical. Those individuals and groups
wanting to decrease the water bond cost should recognize the value of not
touching the amount designated for storage.
Likewise, the water bond also
provides funding that would go toward habitat restoration in the Delta as part
of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The two-part goal of BDCP is to
create a reliable water supply and ecosystem restoration in the Delta. This
funding is equally important to California's water future.
There are multiple efforts
associated with improving the reliability of California's water supply. Moving
forward, we all need to remember the benefits that a reliable water supply
provides for economic prosperity, jobs, food production and recreational
activities throughout the state.
