The purpose or mission of this website is to provide easy
access to links and information regarding the various
agencies and plans for the Delta. Due to
the great number of agencies and reports, each providing
separate components of an overall "vision" proposed by the
current state and federal administration, most interested persons would
not have the time or energy to review it all, even if they
could find the reports. Yet all the
reports and proposals are important to pay
attention to, especially any report currently in a public
comment period. Since the governmental documents and
links get changed or moved by the agencies quite frequently,
this website helps to preserve the documents of the process. |
In
addition, our original intent with this website was to remain as neutral
as possible on the various components of the new plans for the
California Delta region, aka Sacramento Delta and
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. It becomes impossible to
remain neutral once you read some of the documents and
analyze the truth of the matters. However, we hope the reader come
will to
his or her own opinions based on the information provided by
all sides of the issues, and based on facts as they become
available, not based on the media-spin of mainstream news
sources.. A word of caution: since beginning
this project, we've found a substantial number of reports
with conflicting "facts". We notice that reports done
by/for DWR (Department of Boating & Waterways) and/or
Resources Dept. inflates or deflates "facts in several
important areas. Look at the numbers for yourselves to
see what YOU think.
The one area we do firmly state an opinion:
Current efforts and plans appear to
have the goal of REVISING the Delta, not restoring it.
Restoration would include stopping all fresh water removal from the
delta. No one is proposing that most logical plan. So words
like "restore" in the maps and reports should really say
either "revise" or "partial restoration" to be truthful.
