The delta can't be ordsprog

The delta can't be fixed unless we fix the San Joaquin -- and the San Joaquin can't be fixed unless water is allowed to run the length of that river. That's the bottom line.

[The risk is heightened by climate changes that could bring less snow and more rain to the highest elevations of the Sierra Nevada. As a result, water surging into the Sacramento River and the delta will greatly increase the chances of winter floods.] The state's water policy and all its plans for restoration of the delta are predicated on one flawed assumption -- that the delta is a fixed landscape and will look the same for the indefinite future, ... And it won't.

It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. The Bureau of Reclamation has to make a decision and if no one takes [the water], it goes into the San Joaquin River.

We should not be at all surprised if something similar to Hurricane Katrina mirrors itself in California. There have been lots of articles written about the failure of levees in the [Sacramento-San Joaquin] Delta, the loss of drinking water in California. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The probability of a catastrophic levee failure in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in the next 50 years is two in three.

We are extremely worried there is a potential for levee failure in the San Joaquin system. We can't tell you where it will happen. If somebody is living behind a levee in the San Joaquin, they should be extremely cautious.

The San Joaquin is a hard-working river. But it can't continue to take the abuse.

You get all the convenience and features of a mobile phone but with a fixed line cost and the quality you are used to with a fixed line,

An agreement with the pilots does not mean Delta is fixed. Delta has long way to go before it becomes profitable.

I think we will observe a trend of mobile services replacing fixed-line services (in Russia). This trend would lead to the migration of long-distance traffic from regional fixed-line companies to mobile operators. In addition, competition among regional fixed-line operators for generated long-distance traffic will increase.

It's the least cost-efficient dam project we could look at. We've almost fully developed the San Joaquin and take something like 98 percent of its water to the point where it usually does not flow anymore.

Chances are, we're going to break a levee before we reach those flows. We haven't seen levels like this since 1997, and these are significant levels on the lower San Joaquin River.

One significant provision calls for ships to meet ballast water discharge standard according to a schedule of fixed dates -- beginning with certain ships constructed in 2009. These fixed dates serve as a signal to both the shipping industry and the emerging ballast water treatment industry of the need for investment, plans and ballast water treatment equipment inventory to meet ballast water management requirements.
