Dodd Knows, Newsom Does Not
California’s water department must face the reality of climate change and diverse needs – Sac Bee 1/28/2020
“DWR is the agency charged with sustainably managing the state’s water and enhancing the natural environment. It should heed these warnings. The department manages the State Water Project – the vast system of dams, aqueducts and pumps which diverts water from the Delta and delivers it to contract holders.
“DWR could play a lead role in helping the state become more resilient in the face of climate change by ensuring that the State Water Project is managed to reduce diversions from the Bay-Delta ecosystem and to promote water use efficiency, water reuse, and other measures that help water districts wean themselves off of unrealistic and unsustainable levels of water use.”
