California's best-kept secret?
Ignorance of Delta bodes ill for state's water
Coalition response...How many people in a survey could come up with the correct answer when asked to define "Delta water"? Would they realize that the Delta relies on water that originates in the high mountains of northern California? Would they know that the water that tumbles from the Sierras along the Central Valley travels to the Delta? Without these sources there would not be a Delta estuary. |

No need to fast-track latest attempt at canal
Coalition response...To suggest that some San Joaquin Valley farmers should walk away from their lands because of a salt issue fails to recognize how productive these farmers are. These farmers are employing the newest technology and efficient irrigation practices that enable them to produce safe and healthful food that serves California families and many others around the world. Efforts by farmers in the Grassland Bypass Project south of Los Banos have helped to effectively manage salt, selenium and other harmful elements toward halting this discharge from reaching the San Joaquin River. The Environmental Protection agency recently characterized this effort as a "success story." Walking away from the land puts people out of work and disrupts the flow of food to our tables at a time when adding jobs and increasing the world's food supply is a necessity. |
