Tom Graff: Governors water plan significantly flawed

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on April 27, 2007 at 8:06 am

“I think the governor’s water plan is significantly flawed in its emphasis on dams and surface storage. Dams are a sideshow; the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta should be center stage”, says Tom Graff, regional director for Environmental Defense in this month’s edition of the Metro Investment Report.

He says that the Governor’s plan gives large subsidies to water and energy use, leaving taxpayers to pick up the bill while receiving little benefits. “Water should not be made artificially cheap so that demand rises and ever more of it taken out of the Delta and the state’s few remaining ecologically viable rivers and streams.”
