Blog: Weaning Stockton Off of Wells
From the Stockton Record’s Alex Breitler Environment Blog:
“A sentence in the Bay Delta Conservation Plan draft EIR puzzled me:
‘The city of Stockton depends almost entirely on groundwater for its municipal and industrial water needs.” (See Page 11 of Chapter 7)
“In reality, Stockton has now tapped all four of the major streams in San Joaquin County. Stockton East diverts the Calaveras River; the district contracts with the feds for Stanislaus River flows; the city takes Delta water off the San Joaquin River thanks to the new $220 million Delta Water Supply Project; and it buys Mokelumne River water from the Woodbridge Irrigation District.”
