Water District imperils bay, Delta, future water supply

Re: “Why Santa Clara Valley Water District filed lawsuit against California” (Opinion section, Feb. 5):

The Santa Clara Valley Water District’s op-ed in Tuesday’s paper serves the purpose of shooting the Water District and the rest of us in the foot.

The water district’s efforts to take more and more water out of the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to promote neverending growth serves to not only further damage the West Coast’s most important aquatic ecosystem but to also jeopardize future water supplies for those who live here now and for those who will inherit the further damaged bay and Delta in the future.
