Written by a team of independent water experts, this analysis of the latest data evaluates proposed solutions to the Delta's myriad problems. Through in-depth economic and ecological analysis, the authors find that the current policy of channeling water exports through the Delta is not sustainable for any interest. Employing a peripheral canal-conveying water around the Delta instead of through it-as part of a larger habitat and water management plan appears to be the best strategy to maintain both a high-quality water supply and at the same time improve conditions for native fish and wildlife. This important assessment includes integrated analysis of long term ecosystem and water management options and demonstrates how issues such as climate change and sustainability will shape the future.Published in cooperation with the Public Policy Institute of California 410 0$aFreshwater ecology series ;$vv. 3. 606 $aWater quality management$zCalifornia$zDelta Region 606 $aEstuarine ecology$zCalifornia$zDelta Region 606 $aWater-supply$zCalifornia$zDelta Region$xForecasting 606 $aWater diversion$xEnvironmental aspects$zCalifornia$zDelta Region$xForecasting 606 $aWater-supply$zCalifornia$zDelta Region$xManagement 606 $aEnvironmental management$zCalifornia$zDelta Region 607 $aDelta Region (Calif.)$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aWater quality management 615 0$aEstuarine ecology 615 0$aWater-supply$xForecasting. 615 0$aWater diversion$xEnvironmental aspects$xForecasting. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 615 0$aEnvironmental management 676 $a333.91/64 700 $aLund$b Jay R$01505652 702 $aFleenor$b William, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHanak$b Ellen, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHowitt$b Richard, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780865803321 996 $aComparing futures for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta$93735347 997 $aUNINA
