This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is widely perceived to be in crisis today: its levee system is fragile, many of its native species are declining rapidly, and it lacks strong governing institutions to deal with its problems. In its current state, the Delta is unsustainable for almost all stakeholders. This report provides a comprehensive, scientifically up-to-date analysis and outlines several alternative management strategies for the Delta.

This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ecosystem in freefall, a shrinking water supply for cities and agriculture, an antiquated network of failure-prone levees—this is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the major hub of California's water system. Written by a team of independent water experts, this analysis of the latest data evaluates proposed solutions to the Delta's myriad problems. Through in-depth economic and ecological analysis, the authors find that the current policy of channeling water exports through the Delta is not sustainable for any interest. Employing a peripheral canal-conveying water around the Delta instead of through it—as part of a larger habitat and water management plan appears to be the best strategy to maintain both a high-quality water supply and at the same time improve conditions for native fish and wildlife. This important assessment includes integrated analysis of long term ecosystem and water management options and demonstrates how issues such as climate change and sustainability will shape the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is the major hub of California’s water supply system, as the transfer point between Northern California’s network of large reservoirs and the southern half of the state. Intensive flow alteration in and upstream of the Delta has coincided with a sharp decline in the populations of native species. While much attention has been given to the annual volumes of water exported south of the Delta, less research has focused on changes to the flow regime as a whole, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. This study examines trends in the Delta flow regime from 1930 to the present, using data from the California Department of Water Resources’ Dayflow model to compute hydrologic indicators. Changes to Delta inflows may result from changes in climate or upstream diversions and reservoir operation, while differences between inflows and outflows may be attributed to exports and in-Delta diversions. Results indicate pronounced increases in minimum flows and changes in their timing coinciding with reservoir construction and operation. Increases are also shown in the frequency of flow reversals, in addition to the expected reductions in outflow volume due to exports. These results are intended to serve future research towards improving water management in the Delta to balance economic and ecological needs.

This book was released on 2011-08-19 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary is a large, complex estuarine ecosystem in California. It has been substantially altered by dikes, levees, channelization, pumps, human development, introduced species, dams on its tributary streams and contaminants. The Delta supplies water from the state's wetter northern regions to the drier southern regions and also serves as habitat for many species, some of which are threatened and endangered. The restoration of water exacerbated tensions over water allocation in recent years, and have led to various attempts to develop comprehensive plans to provide reliable water supplies and to protect the ecosystem. One of these plans is the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The report, A Review of the Use of Science and Adaptive Management in California's Draft Bay Delta Conservation Plan, determines that the plan is incomplete in a number of important areas and takes this opportunity to identify key scientific and structural gaps that, if addressed, could lead to a more successful and comprehensive final BDCP. The plan is missing the type of structure usually associated with current planning methods in which the goals and objectives are specified, alternative measure for achieving the objectives are introduced and analyzed, and a course of action in identified based on analytical optimization of economic, social, and environmental factors. Yet the panel underscores the importance of a credible and a robust BDCP in addressing the various water management problems that beset the Delta. A stronger, more complete, and more scientifically credible BDCP that effectively integrates and utilizes science could indeed pave the way toward the next generation of solutions to California's chronic water problems.
