Farmers, cities negotiate Calif. water swap  

Competing farm, city districts try to strike water deal

Coalition viewpoint...This exchange helps reduce the potential of Westlands farmers from losing a share of next year's water supply that could flow to the ocean instead of farms.  It provides Metropolitan with water they can use now and possibly reduce the likelihood of more severe shortages next year.  This is an excellent example of the water user community working together to bring some flexibility back into the system that has been hobbled by questionable environmental restrictions in recent years.

State report's recipe for a restored delta:  More water

Coalition viewpoint---This blog is a mish-mash of personal opinions, falsehoods and recycled rhetoric.  The State Water Board, in releasing its staff report, did not identify water exports as the "real culprit" for the current Delta conditions.  Quite the opposite...the Board went to great lengths to explain that the legislative directive for conducting the report restricted the study to only look at water flows and no other factors.  The Board also stated that the report is non-binding.  To continually blame San Joaquin Valley farmers for the ills of the Delta is irresponsible and damages effort to restore the Delta's environment and provide a reliable water supply to farmers and 25 million Californians.
