demonstrates how sustainable water management, including groundwater cleanup,
water recycling, local storm water capture and cost-effective water
conservation can provide the water needed to serve California’s projected
population, economy and environment through 2050, according to Di Croce. </span></font></b><b><font

Environmental Water Caucus (EWC) will provide water to people and the
environment "almost immediately," at far lower costs and with
significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than new dams and their associated
infrastructure, said Di Croce. The report also expresses strong concerns about
the proposed <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Peripheral</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Canal</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, which could route

font-weight:bold'>The groups have produced this report as the legislature is
rushing to consider a package of bills that fails to include fundamental
improvements in how we manage our water supplies. Canal opponents fear that the
bill package, developed with little input from the people of the Delta, will
serve as a road map to the building of a peripheral canal that Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and his allies in the Legislature are promoting as the
"solution" to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>'s

alone will carry <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>
through the expected population increases through 2050. "It calls for
Delta exports to be reduced by half from the recent levels in order to save,
protect and restore the Delta," said Di Croce. "The report is based
on existing, authenticated studies and data produced by the Department of Water
Resources, the Pacific Institute and Planning and Conservation League and is
assembled in a way that tells the game charging story." </span></font></b><b><font
