As stated in the timeline, in 1998 and again in
2000 documents with maps were produced by state agencies working in
collusion with select public/private water agencies to plan and implement
the "central conveyance" canal to take more Sacramento water through the
Delta for export to other areas. The planning process and preliminary
EIR/EIS documents were generated between 2000 and 2007 and have been
referred to in some government reports as "building blocks" for the
"preferred alternative".
This page shows the 2000 preferred central
conveyance route, and the maps from the building blocks the government and
water agencies hope to construct as part of the "near term" approach to
"restoring" the Delta. The Delta will not be "restored" to a
freshwater tidal overflow lands area. The central conveyance
alternative will DESTROY the natural Delta ecosystems, and REPLACE the
natural system with a man-engineered saltwater inland estuary.
Some
scientists involved in the project acknowledge the goal is not restoration
to the Delta's past natural condition, but instead they "hope" to restore
some of the "ecological function". Note to state and scientists:
honesty is appreciated! The map below has "hot links"...
Click on the boxes along the canal route to go to maps or documents
verifying the near term plans (to be built by 2012 supposedly)
Or see the detail graphics below our interactive map. We are also building a
"restoration wish list" page. (Not our wishes, what the
governmental agencies want to do to the Delta) You can also see
hundreds more Conveyance & Canal planning maps by going back to the Delta
