I missed this earlier. Bettina Boxall in a leading enviro reporter
in the state and she really nails this situation. <br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p>Now it (<i>Westland Water District</i>) is a driving force
behind the most ambitious water project proposed in California
in decades, the $25-billion plan to send Sacramento River
supplies south to Westlands and elsewhere through two giant
water tunnels burrowed under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.</p>
<p>The water would help Westlands for a time. But the expensive
tunnels would merely delay the inevitable: The more Westlands is
irrigated, the more its land will be ruined.</p>
