"all of the alternatives in the DEIR substantially increase water exports from the Delta on average by approximately 500,000 acre feet per year, including significant increases in water diversions in dry and critically dry years (200-300,000 [af/year])" on.nrdc.org/3wMPzGu

Currently, the state is spending tens of thousands of dollars per acre to manage emissions from the exposed Salton Sea lakebed by putting straw bales out on the ground and doing surface roughening, with a total cost of over $100 million dollars. #cawater ppic.org/blog/new-salto…

Check out this 'Water Spirit' sculpture by Nicholas Mukomberanwa that I saw in the Atlanta Airport last week. Beautiful.

Big changes are likely on the way for the Delta that will almost certainly alter the volume, timing and objectives of Delta flows, but due to recent changes in long-established monitoring programs, the impact on water quality and ecosystem may be very hard to evaluate. #cawater mavensnotebook.com/2026/02/09/not…

20% of US citizens want to leave the USA permanently. 40% of young US women want to leave the USA permanently. What can be done to save/fix our country?

Still a terrible project, even with all the spin. Hard to see who benefits...definitely not the people in the Delta and definitely not all the people who would be stuck paying the astronomical bill over the next several decades. #NoDeltaTunnel @Delta_Action @SaveHoodCA

From water reliability to community benefits, the Delta Conveyance Project is designed to secure California’s water future. The @CA_DWR has pulled together FAQs that explain how this project helps protect supplies, support communities, and strengthen our state’s resilience.

Urban water demand is dropping as people use less. @mwdh2o will raise rates 17% in the next 2 years to cover current costs. “These are the same customers whose water bills and property taxes would increase to pay for a tunnel,” @sencabaldon said. #nodeltatunnel @SIERRASUNTIMES

California’s salmon population has declined so severely that regulators banned fishing in 2023 and again in 2024. The latest estimates show the number of Chinook salmon is still so low that fishing could again be prohibited — or if not, sharply limited. latimes.com/environment/st…

Restore the Delta
Restore the Delta@RestoretheDelta·
With USBR gutted and under control of DOGE, Californians are left exposed to greater risk of flood, and ruined water quality in the SF Bay-Delta with over pumping. They do not care if we die, become ill, or are ruined economically. And the environment at the intersection of land and water will be trashed.
Ian James@ByIanJames

Update: DOGE has ordered firings and buyouts at the federal agency that operates water infrastructure in California. "Water experts should manage our water systems, not tech executives." latimes.com/environment/st…

A picture is worth a thousand words. California salmon love floodplains, and evolved with them. The floodplains we have left are mostly rice fields and we need to conserve and manage all of them. If not, we risk losing salmon. 🌾🐟

Cool image showing why aquatic connectivity matters *laterally* as well as up/downriver: These Central Valley juvenile chinook are the same age, but bottom "floodplain fatty" reared in productive off-channel wetlands. Screenshot from @CalTrout webinar: youtube.com/watch?v=GqMJw8…

Southern California is having one of its driest falls in history. San Diego has seen just 0.16 of rain since September. If no rain falls through the end of the month this will make it the city's driest Sep-Dec since records began in 1850, the year California became a state.

Sad no options are being provided to these water districts. According to DWR, it's "$20B+ Tunnel or nothing!"

The urgency of building the #Delta Conveyance Project cannot be overstated. @CA_DWR report estimates a $2.20 return for every dollar spent. Failing to act will jeopardize safe and secure #water for millions. #WaterSecurity #DeltaConveyanceProject watersecurityca.com/2024/05/16/ben…

Even if we are (comparatively) lucky & manage to avoid triggering any of the major #Earth system tipping points discussed in this film, we're already dealing with consequences of "expanding atmospheric sponge"--which is increasing wet & dry extremes. [Link below] #ClimateChange
Daniel Swain@Weather_West

"Climate Extremes: At The Abyss?" is now available for viewing. In this new documentary film, we discuss the complexity of Earth system dynamics on a warming planet--including the rising risk of reaching dangerous "tipping points." #ClimateChange #AMOC youtu.be/U8pLrRkqbb0?si…

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

Ian James@ByIanJames

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/st…

Yurok Tribe@TheYurokTribe·
Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

Wrong conclusions from analysis double down on multi-B. $$ projects like the Tunnel. "[S]ame $$ would be far better spent on efficiency improvements, ecosystem restoration, strategies to capture stormH2O in CV aquifers in wet years, & wasteH2O treatment & reuse." @PacificInstitut
Californians for Water Security@SecureWaterCA

#ClimateChange threatens to shrink the amount of #water California can deliver over the next 20 yrs, reducing supplies by up to 23%, per @CA_DWR report. We must move forward with the #Delta Conveyance Project to ensure a #reliable supply. latimes.com/environment/st…
