Save the California Delta Alliance (STCDA)

The Water Issues facing the Delta

The current government water plans include the Peripheral Canal – a multi-billion dollar project which requires initial funding via a 2012 $12B Bond Act misleadingly being called the “Clean Safe Drinking Water Act”, various projects to install Gates blocking Delta water flow and navigation, and regulations to remove the Striped Bass, a diversionary tactic being used instead of finding real ways to save the endangered species – salmon, trout, smelt). All will have serious negative effects on the California Delta region.
	These projects are ostensibly being proposed to improve drinking water quality and quantity and provide water to farmers. But they aren’t the best way to accomplish that goal. The proponents are special interests who stand to benefit financially from the resale of water and who are only “concerned” about the Delta ecology in order to obtain their canal permits. The Delta is more than a “plumbing fixture” to export drinking water to Central and Southern California. The Delta is an important freshwater estuary: important for the ecosystem; important the local farmers and local economy; and important to thousands who enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, and water sports.
Who are we? The STCDA is a non-profit association based in Discovery Bay. Our Mission Statement

Save the California Delta Alliance (STCDA) is a public interest association committed to working with local, state, and federal government to create a balanced state water plan that keeps the California Delta a safe and healthy environment for all who live here while providing clean water exports for other areas of the state.

Fundraising

Your tax deductible donations to STCDA (formerly STBDF) have been used to-date to hire experts to support our legal advisor. Your donations funded an independent scientist who’s report was an important part of the successful postponement of the 2-Gates project!

More donations are needed NOW to ensure the 2-Gates project is permanently terminated and to represent the Delta communities interests when new projects being proposed that would impact the Delta. Other uses will be for the direct costs of making the public aware of all water diversion projects. STCDA is a voluntary organization and does not, nor does it anticipate, any expenditure for salaries or wages.
