Given the the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan's recent release of its working draft and the news that Westlands Water District and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority have pulled out of the planning process, folks are justifiably wondering whether the wheels are coming off the BDCP process.
As a former Californian (6 years in Truckee and 1 year in Santa Cruz) who is now invested in the Bay-Delta issue (euphemism alert) I am starting to get discouraged. But I've got to get back to my review of the BDCP draft.
Emily Green's got a lot of information about the Westlands decision in today's post. David Zetland weighs in on Westlands taking its toys home. His attitude is 'good riddance'. Lloyd Carter has the Department of Interior's response. Even John Fleck contributes his two cents from the Land of Entrapment. And here is a cartload of schadenfreude from On The Public Record.
If you haven't had enough, you can check out my post from last week.
Here is Mark Grossi's story from the Fresno Bee.
Maybe we can buy some water from San Diego when they tap that huge regional aquifer. One can dream.
