BAY DELTA CONSERVATION PLAN
Story
From Vacaville Reporter - Sunday, April 28, 2013
Coalition response...The concern the water users in the Delta have is one that other water
users in California can relate to - water shortages for the last 20 years. A
large part of the water lost due to environmental regulations flowed to the
ocean with no measurable ecosystem benefit. A part of that water could
have been serving 25 million people and growing local food in a farm state that
is more productive than any other region on earth. That water can be put to use
when the right conditions make it available.
The Bay Delta Conservation Plan
is focused on creating a reliable water supply and a restored Delta ecosystem.
Public water agencies are seeking the reliability that would provide near
average deliveries to what they have received over the last 15 years, which is
a reasonable compromise Californians can support.

Coalition response...Voluntary water transfers add flexibility to California's water system
and provide benefits to both the buyer and the seller. Its important to
understand that transfers like this undergo a review process by the State
of California that must prove no harmful effect to the area of origin or the
environment. As water moves downstream through the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta, part of it remains in the Delta for environmental benefits as
well.
Comparing a boiling pot of water
to transfers leaves out a very important factor---the oversight and assurance
that the transfers meet their needs of the recipients as well as protecting the
area of origin.

Coalition response...A clarification is needed to this story regarding who is paying for
parts of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. The improved conveyance measures,
including the twin tunnels, will be paid by those users who receive the water
and not the public.
