What laws need to change to make restoration happen?
Congress must amend the Raker Act while the State of California likely will need to affirm new water use, diversion and storage arrangements. San Francisco, its wholesale customers, the Districts and others will need to negotiate new agreements that address the legitimate water and power demands of all. State and/or federal action will be needed to assure that those who will benefit from the valley’s restoration share the cost of making it possible.
