Commentary: San Diego County Water Authority Seeks Bay-Delta Solution That Works
From U-T San Diego, a commentary by Thomas V. Wornham, chair of the San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors:
“California needs a 21st century solution for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta, the hub of the state’s water supply system. That solution must be feasible, reliable and affordable. It must be right-sized, and the state must secure firm financial commitments from those who have said they will pay for it.
“The multibillion-dollar question is how best to attain that vision in the Bay Delta to sustainably meet the needs of water supply reliability and the ecosystem. It might seem like a distant problem for those of us in San Diego County, but our region draws about 20 percent of its water supply from the Bay-Delta, and we’ll be on the hook to pay for a substantial piece of any solution.”
