California Governor Jerry Brown unveiled a $687.4-million drought relief plan in Sacramento
on Wednesday that was hailed by Democrats and state water authorities, but
which will do little to address the larger issues plaguing water management in
the region. The package includes spending for water recycling, groundwater
restoration, and emergency food and housing, but does nothing about the larger
conflict over water use.
Farmers and Republicans call the
water crisis "man-made," because much of the water to which they
previously had access was flushed out to sea in recent years to preserve
endangered fish populations in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin River
delta. Gov. Brown and President Barack Obama have rejected efforts by
Republicans in Congress to restore water to the farmers by federal law. The new
package offers no solutions to the dilemma.
Instead, Gov. Brown's package
sticks to what is politically feasible with Democrats in complete control of
the state government. According to Anthony York of the Los Angeles Times, some
of Gov. Brown's proposals were included in the budget he presented to the state
legislature last month, but would not have been enacted until July. By
re-introducing them as emergency measures, the governor could see them take
effect within weeks.
Much of California's
water comes from the snowpack on the Sierra Nevada
mountains, which has been at very low levels this year following two years of
very limited precipitation. Just a few years before, the state had ample water
and its reservoirs were full. However, California
has not invested in new reservoirs, partly due to the insistence of
environmentalists that water management should focus on conservation rather
than storage.
