Truth #5

New dams produce far less reliable water than conservation, recycling and groundwater storage.

Truth #4

The proposed Peripheral Canal will be as long and as wide as the Panama Canal.

Nine years ago, state and federal agencies promised to restore the Delta. They failed.

Can we really trust the same agencies to operate the Peripheral Canal in a way that protects and restores the Delta?

Truth #3

Water conservation.

Water recycling.

Water reclamation.

Groundwater storage.



These are the solutions to California's current and future water needs. Not building costly, destructive, ineffective, and contraversial new dams and canals.

Truth #2

Fish need water too.

California's salmon have been decimated by the state's 1,400 dams and hundreds of miles of canals.

We cannot restore our once bountiful salmon stocks by building yet more dams and canals.

Truth about Ca Water #1

23 million Californians DO NOT "depend" on water from the Delta.

Water stored behind federal and state dams are exported from the Delta is only about 11.5% of California's dedicated water supplies.

In contrast, 57% of our dedicated water supply comes from local surface storage, projects groundwater aquifers, and from reuse/recycling.
