Candidates agree — controversial and costly #DeltaTunnel is not the right water plan for California’s future.

Looks like Governor's power play is not working.
Thank you CA Legislature, for keeping tunnel mischief out of State Budget.

Our latest Lookout video looks at the geography of Chinook Salmon and steelhead trout in California's Central Valley, with a focus on Spring Run Salmon on Butte Creek, near Chico. We talk about obstacles the fish face in returning to much of their historic habitats, and about work which has been done to prevent their extinction.
We also talk about why we are building a large sculpture of Butte Creek Spring Run Chinook Salmon.

We did the math: On Trump's order, two Central Valley dams released at least 2 billion gallons of water. It didn't help farms or Los Angeles. latimes.com/environment/stor… @ByIanJames @jvgarrison

Trump’s emergency water order responsible for water dump from Tulare County lakes
Tulare County water managers were perplexed and frustrated, noting both physical and legal barriers that make it virtually impossible for Tulare County river water to be used for southern California fires.
For now, water managers are capturing flows in recharge basins, Eric Limas, General Manager for the Lower Tule River and Pixley irrigation districts, wrote in a text.
“I have no idea if this is the new norm for operations or not. I certainly hope not.”

As we end the week, I wanted to share some really good local reporting on how President Trump's water actions in California are being received by locals...

In normal California units is about 16,000 acre-feet, enough to irrigate about 3,000 acres. Alas, this water would have been released to serve these same acres later, in the season when useful for the irrigation season. No relevance for fires. See: sjvwater.org/decision-to-dum…

DCA has identified a way to construct 45 miles of tunnel with only 2 launch sites, each including 2 launch shafts, that are strategically located to minimize impacts. Tunnel Boring Machines would launch in both directions from each launch shaft site. More: bit.ly/3KzNFQ9

Really, a "priority"? Cuz Tunnel EIR identifies 5 Significant and Unavoidable impacts on Cultural Resources. And would further imperil salmon runs and other fish by diverting freshwater from #Sacramento River.

FACT: Tribal engagement has been, and will continue to be, a priority in Delta Conveyance Project planning and implementation.
DWR initially reached out to more than 120 Tribes and received responses from 13 interested in participating in the consultation process. These Tribal engagement efforts played an important role in identifying and evaluating alternatives, potential impacts on Tribal cultural resources and helped DWR develop robust and responsive mitigation measures to avoid or reduce these impacts.

Yet another new name —
“Agreements to Support Healthy Rivers and Landscapes” — but still the same disdain for giving fish the water they need.

ALT Unicorn and Rainbow Says: State’s Bat Delta Voluntary Agreements — If you believe that unicorns and rainbows will save the Delta
The Biden and Newsom administrations will soon adopt new rules for California’s major water delivery systems that will determine how much water may be pumped while providing protections for imperiled fish species. The proposed changes are controversial. latimes.com/environment/stor…
