CALFED Science Program Workshop
Comparing Futures for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta - Technical Appendices Workshop
Conversations with authors of the recent Public Policy Institute of California report's appendices
November 12 and 13, 2008
CALFED Bay-Delta Program, Delta Room
650 Capitol Mall, 5th Floor
Sacramento, CA 95814
Workshop Purpose
The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) recently released the report "Comparing Futures for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta," by Jay Lund, Ellen Hanak, William Fleenor, William Bennett, Richard Howitt, Jeffrey Mount and Peter Moyle. Much of the core technical information and reasoning behind the comparison of potential futures in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is contained in appendices available with the report.
This two-day workshop, hosted by the CALFED Science Program in Sacramento, featured presentations and question-and-answer sessions focusing on material contained within each appendix. After the appendix presentations and discussions, a concluding panel featuring CALFED Science Program advisors discussed the best use of science for the Delta’s future, given the results of the PPIC report and ongoing planning processes.
