Being a 33 year resident of the SAC River Delta I have watched the gradual deterioration occur as more and more water is shipped south. Loss of fishery, weed buildup, invasive species (mitten crab, etc). Bypassing the Delta and removing more fresh water will only turn the South Delta into a cesspool. What sense does it make to turn the best AG land in the Country into a salt marsh, only to irrigate desert land to grow cotton and alphafa, very water intensive crops. What happens to the San Francisco Estuary when all that fresh flushing water heads South. This is the biggest water grab since the draining of the Owens Valley on the East side of the Sierra. We just have to follow the money. I hope common sense prevails on this issue.
