Marin County Board of Supervisors Takes a Stand

3 Comments

The Marin County Board of Supervisors has taken a stand for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary with a letter to the State Water Resources Control Board, urging them to strengthen their proposed standards for the San Joaquin River and its tributaries.

The letter, released on Thursday, commends efforts to seek a better balance between the many competing uses of fresh water flowing in tributaries to the Estuary.

However, the letter also urges the State Water Board to strengthen the proposed standards, expressing concern that the best available science strongly indicates that the Board’s current proposal will not adequately protect fish and wildlife, water quality, and recreational benefits in the estuary, lower San Joaquin River, and San Joaquin tributaries.

Friends of the San Francisco Estuary has worked hard to bring this issue to the attention of elected officials in Marin County and throughout the Bay Area. Our leaders need to know that a healthy Bay requires fresh water, and that means keeping enough water flowing in the rivers that reach the Delta and then the Bay. We are heartened to see this statement from the Marin County Board of Supervisors. To support more of this work, click here.

This place is most famous but here is system of clean water for drinking. Government should make the plan for water of peoples. Other wise peoples it will be harmful for them. It is responsibility of government.

Its always good to see a stand being taken. I mean enough is really enough and if we don't fight for our rights no one will. There is no superman, batman or spiderman in real life.
