The future of California’s primary water supply delivery system was presented to regional leaders on Tuesday as Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) hosted the state’s top water manager for a roundtable discussion on the proposed Delta Conveyance Project (DCP). Karla Nemeth, Director of the California Department of Water Resources, laid out the importance of investing in the DCP during a two-hour conversation attended by dozens of regional water, community, and civic leaders at EMWD’s headquarters. “We have no better option than the one that is right in front of us today,” Nemeth said. “When the current system fails, it will be harder and more expensive than the current option.” The call to action comes as the proposed DCP advances through the regulatory process and faces a critical vote by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Board of Directors in December.
