California officials analyzed options for new water rules in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Water suppliers and environmental groups are sharply divided.
California water regulators have released a long-awaited analysis of options for managing flows in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, where fish populations have been declining and the ecosystem has been deteriorating. The delta is the central hub of the state’s water system, drawing together rivers from a vast watershed and supplying pumps that send water flowing to cities and farms.
” A coalition of water agencies supported the voluntary measures in a letter to the State Water Board, calling them 'Agreements to Support Healthy Rivers and Landscapes' and saying they “will improve environmental conditions more quickly and holistically than traditional regulatory requirements, while providing more certainty to communities, farms, and businesses.” In the Central Valley, Westlands Water District is one of the major agricultural suppliers supporting the agreements.
