From the Public Policy Institute of CA (PPIC-what a joke!)
1. Initiate a planned transition away from through-Delta pumping to other export strategies.
2. The most promising strategy for meeting co-equal long-term state environmental and economic objectives is a peripheral canal.
3. Actively prepare for a changing Delta ecosystem.
4. Move away from levees as the primary means of managing Delta land and water.
5. Develop a new framework for governance and regulation of the Delta.
Conclusion: It is unlikely that local and regional stakeholders
can negotiate such arrangements on their own in a timely way, given the complexity of the problem and its innumerable stakeholders. Pursuit of a grand consensus solution for the Delta's many issues is likely only to
continue the deteriorating status quo.
