I mentioned something like "no new dams" to our Conservation Director and he pointed out that we actually aren't opposed to all new dams, just the one's that have been proposed. It was a very good point... we aren't a radical group that says no to every project... only the ones that don't make sense... here is his reply...

We are opposed to some of the dams proposed by the Gov and others because they are too expensive, environmentally destructive, and ineffective (in terms of actually producing more water).

Besides, most groundwater recharge projects use existing facilities.

We've stored more than 5 million acre feet of water underground in the San Joaquin Valley and I don't believe any of these projects required the construction of a new dam.
