Blog: CalChamber backs Bay-Delta Plan update that prevents reduced water supplies
The California Chamber of Commerce and a diverse coalition of organizations highlighted the far-reaching economic impacts of proposed changes to water management within the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay-Delta) system in a comment letter submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) on January 10. To avoid a substantial reduction in water supplies for much of California, the coalition asked the State Water Board to support a holistic approach, proposed by federal, state, and local water agencies, that would balance the diverse needs of urban and agricultural uses and the environment.
