A message from Sue Graham

[Aileen La Bouff]

Hi Aileen,
I just found out about a forum on water issues that I think the task
force would be interested in, however, I don't know how to let them
know. I usually use an email distribution list but I don't have one.
Are we supposed to use the google site? If it is not too much trouble
could you post this information for me?

Water: California's New Gold

Faced with a changing climate and a drought cycle in California, the
Bay Area has a critical opportunity to plan for the future use of
water, a finite resource. The demise of a healthy Delta system has
raised the question of water use, diversion and storage. Can the Delta
fisheries be restored while the farmers continue to use 80% of the
water supply passing through the Delta? Is there a conveyance system
that can provide protection for the fisheries and an adequate supply
of water for the farmers? Can the choice of crops affect the water
usage? Should all water users be required to have water meters?

These are the questions we have ­ come to BALD and join the discussion
in the search for answers!


Let me know if you can't do this or if there is some way a non-techie
like me could do it.
Thank you so much.
Sue
