Let’s Tell Gov-Elect Newsom exactly what we want for CA Water!

We Need Your Signature!
Sign On to Restore the Delta’s New Petition,
“Steps for Governor-Elect Newsom to Modernize CA Water”

We have survived the election and have selected a new Governor!

To usher in this new era for California, we want to make it perfectly clear what kind of water policies, programs, and projects we want to see the Newsom Administration pursue and implement.

So we made this petition stating exactly what steps Governor-elect Newsom should take to secure a sustainable future for California water, and will deliver it to him on day 1 of his new term. Specifically, we telling Governor-Elect Newsom:

1. We do NOT want the CA WaterFix project to break ground and irreversibly destroy the Delta. Massive twin tunnels are not the 21st century solution we need to modernize California’s water conveyance systems. This project can and should be stopped immediately;
2. Our state’s existing water infrastructure MUST be upgraded to protect not only our state’s water storage facilities and supplies, but the public’s safety;
3. Local, sustainable water projects and programs must be funded, supported, and implemented in communities across California. Not only will sustainable projects increase our self-sufficiency and regional water supplies, but these projects will also decrease our environmental footprint and create well-paying jobs throughout California;Specifically, we would like to see more:

   a. Stormwater Capture Projects
   b. Water Recycling & Reuse Projects
   c. Urban and Agricultural Conservation Programs
   d. Water-saving technologies that increase efficiency;

4. At all costs, you must protect, enhance and restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin river Delta, its tributaries, and the connected San Francisco Bay estuary with habitat restoration programs and improved equitable flow standards for the Delta. The loss of these imperative ecosystems will be felt locally, and over time, globally;
5. Restore California’s groundwater systems;
6. An equitable distribution of clean, affordable water for the entire state of California.
