How about some good levee news
for a change?

district projects will receive $30 million in funding for Delta levee
improvements under the Delta Special Flood Control Projects' Hazard Mitigation
Plan (HMP) Levee Repair and Improvement Project Solicitation Package (PSP).

The Department of Water Resources
(DWR) has approved funding for 14 reclamation district projects in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to strengthen nearly 90 miles of levees to provide
protection against flooding.
From: Nancy Vogel, BDCP
At a public meeting on July 17 to
discuss the draft Bay Delta Conservation Plan, UC Berkeley economist Dr. David
Sunding said that the BDCP, if implemented, would allow the state to deliver
more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta than otherwise, almost
entirely in years of abundant rainfall.
It's also true, as state
officials have said, that average annual Delta water deliveries under the BDCP
could be about the same or less than they have been historically.
Specifically, projections show a range of federal and state water project deliveries
that are within 10 percent of the historical average deliveries of the last 20
years (5.3 million acre-feet).
