Top Water Advisors Say CA Must Fix Water System
California's Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's own water advisory panel today confirmed his statements that the state's water system must be repaired.
The plan, endorsed by the Delta Vision Committee, includes the building of dams and a canal to pipe water around the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The plan envisions a new plumbing system to funnel water from rivers in Northern California to the state's population centers in the arid south and San Francisco Bay.
The Department of Water Resources estimates it to cost between $4.2 billion to $7.2 billion to build a canal and between $1.2 billion to $9.6 billion to fortify channels through the delta, plus another $10 billion bond the governor repeatedly has asked the legislature for to cover new dams and groundwater storage, as reported by the Associated Press, and published by the Washington Post.
