| E-2.1.4.1: Aggressively pursue the Delta solution.
D2.1.4.1.a. The District’s desired outcome is a cost-effective, comprehensive, long-term solution for the Delta that meets the water supply, water supply reliability, and water quality needs of Santa Clara County while balancing other beneficial uses and providing a sustainable Delta ecosystem. (C, T)
D2.1.4.1.b The District supports moving forward with environmental review and feasibility studies for a long-term Delta solution, including analyses of a dual Delta conveyance and a full range of isolated facility sizes. (C, T)
D2.1.4.1.c Continuing to rely solely on existing through-Delta conveyance for the District’s imported water supplies is not acceptable because of the instability of existing Delta levees, underlying seismic risks, increasing threats of altered hydrology and sea level rise due to climate change, and ongoing regulatory uncertainty and concerns over the environmental health of the Delta. (C, T)
D2.1.4.1.d The long-term Delta solution should promote a resilient Delta ecosystem by basing all actions on sound science and addressing the full range of environmental stressors, including toxics, invasive species, and all watershed diverters. (C, T)
