Editorial: ACID overhaul's benefits reach beyond district

Coalition viewpoint...Water delivery upgrades are never a cheap expense.  ACID directors and staff worked diligently to obtain the needed funds to upgrade its delivery system. Upgrades to delivery systems such as ACID's are all part of the flexibility that California's water system needs to modernize an aging infrastructure.

Corporate farms use most Delta water

Coalition viewpoint...As proven during the past two years, reducing water deliveries to San Joaquin Valley farms has resulted in significant impacts---

1.  Thousands of farm workers lost their jobs.

2.  Rural communities have suffered from a depressed economy.

Scientists agree that the cause of impacts to the Delta environment can no longer be attributed to a single factor.  It is not just water flowing through the Delta for use by San Joaquin Valley farmers and 25 million Californians.  Other factors include ammonium from urban wastewater affecting the water quality; non-native species eating the food supply of such species as the Delta smelt; and predators that eat juvenile salmon.  To continue to point to water deliveries from the Delta as the sole impact on the Delta is short-sighted.
