Video series: Jones Tract and Bacon Island: The In-Delta
Field Studies of 2004 leading up to the controlled flooding of Delta
Islands for In-Delta water storage. Please note that this video is
NOT intended to judge, promote or stop the In-Delta storage island
projects. The sole intent is to quickly distribute information
found online, point out the descrepencies in important data, and simply
warn Delta neighbors that the news media may soon be portraying
controlled flooding of specific Delta islands as if the levee breaks
were accidental, when they were not.

the video. Sorry the video seems fuzzy. Somehow in the
upload process with Youtube the video was slightly corrupted. It
is viewable if you enlarge it to your full screen size. If you
want to see a series of website links related to In-Delta water storage
and the 2004 Jones Tract Flood/Field Studies, please go to

To see many of the documents from the last 17 years of studies leading
up to the pending flooding of Delta Islands to use as small dams in the
Delta, go to the 2004 planning documents and
click on the highlighted "Jones Tract" links ... A real eye opener
regarding the amount of studies and amount of tax payer dollars that
have gone into the "IDS" CalFED surface storage project! If you

Canal plans or the All Planning Maps

Please note that the video author is not personally opposed to
the use of excess Delta water flow for whatever
purposes the state/federal agencies deem appropriate, so long as such
use does not negatively impact Delta farming, landowners, families,
businesses, ecological or environmental balance and navigation for the
commercial and recational uses traditional of the last 150 years.
