BAY DELTA CONSERVATION PLAN

Letter
From Sacramento Bee - Sunday, April 21, 2013

Coalition response...Scientists have been involved for the past seven years in studying the development of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The result of their efforts includes improved conveyance of water through the proposed tunnels and improvements to the Delta ecosystem that include a restoration of habitat.

There is no debate that the current system of delivering water in our state and that the Delta is in need of help. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is the best opportunity to answer these needs and at the same time provide a secure water future for California.

Coalition response...The Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) and its proposed tunnels are not currently expected to deliver significantly different amounts of water that the average amount over the past 15 years. Some years is may be slightly more. Other years it will be less. The amount of water that will flow through the tunnels depends on the amount of water in the river, as illustrated at  www.farmwater.org/exportthrottle.pdf.

The public is currently reviewing draft chapters of the BDCP that was developed through seven years of study by scientists and researchers. It is the best option to achieve a reliable water supply and a restored Delta ecosystem, both mandated goals by California's Legislature.

Coalition response...One of the goals of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) is to restore the ecosystem of the Delta. Efforts toward that goal are included in BDCP, along with creating a reliable water supply. Combined, these two goals shape the planning that has gone into providing a plan that will provide a secure water future for California. BDCP must move forward in order to safeguard a water supply for 25 million Californians and 3 million acres of farmland that grow a healthy and affordable supply that consumers have come to rely upon.
