A proposal to temporarily dam three sloughs in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta will be presented at a public meeting Thursday in Clarksburg from 6 to 8 p.m. at Clarksburg Community Church, 52910 Netherlands Ave.
These dams are opposed by Delta boaters, fishermen and farmers. Their purpose is to continue to export more and more water for the use of the expanding almond orchards in the desert near I-5 and throughout the Central Valley, even during the drought.
The announcement says the dams purpose is to keep salt water from coming into the estuary during the drought. However, the alternative is to export less water. There is sufficient fresh water for urban use and most farming. The expanding profitable almond orchards need to be balanced with the available water resources.
