Bay Delta Conservation
Plan
From: Dave
Gebhard, Lake County News
Coalition
response...The Bay
Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) is being developed to provide a reliable supply
of water to 25 million Californians and thousands of farmers. This is water
they already have a right to receive. BDCP will also restore the Delta
ecosystem as more than a 100,000 acres of habitat will be created that protects
fish.
Those who benefit
from the increased water reliability and the ecosystem improvements will pay
their share of their costs associated with BDCP. San Joaquin Valley farms,
which are mostly family operations, will continue to provide a healthy and
affordable food supply that Californians enjoy.
The flow of water
through the tunnels will be governed according to available supply. When the
flows are high, more water will move through the tunnels. Lower flows mean less
water will be exported. See more at www.farmwater.org/exportthrottle.pdf.

Coalition
response...Describing
the nearly 4,000 family farmers in the San Joaquin Valley as "Wall Street
farmers" is far from reality. Second and third-generations operate most of
these farms, including sons and daughters who saw their parents and
grandparents work to develop the land into the most productive farmland in the
world.
The Bay Delta
Conservation Plan, as mandated by the California Legislature, is a proposal to
create a reliable water supply and restore the Delta ecosystem. The water will
flow to 25 million Californians and 3 million acres of farmland. Those
individuals and cities have a right to the water and BDCP provides a solution
for them to receive it while increasing habitat that will provide protection
for Delta fish.
