How does Delta plan fit with drought?  01/03/2014 7:10 AM

(Page A1, Dec. 29): My understanding is that Folsom Dam will cut
its releases next week. The American River will become lower and
with the other dams, such as Shasta and Oroville, low, that
means the Sacramento River will drop as well. If the Delta
tunnels project were in now, what would the impact be? Doesn't
this need to be addressed? Would state water officials shut off
the tunnels if the water diversion would impact the rest of the
river downstream and, if so, what would that do to those who
would depend on those tunnels for their water? Maybe the Delta
tunnels aren't such a good idea after all.  -- Bob Kelley,
