Will Delta exports be used for fracking?

by admin on January 20, 2014

Here’s what the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, on its Your Questions Answered page, has to say about fracking:

 

“The California Department of Water Resources does not regulate the uses to which State Water Project supply is put.

 

“State constitutional restrictions require the reasonable and beneficial use of water, and state laws require that water pumped from the Delta be put to stipulated beneficial uses. Beneficial uses include agricultural, municipal, and industrial consumptive uses; power production; and in-stream uses including fish protection flows. Fracking presumably would be an ‘industrial’ use of water.”

 

So yes, water from the Delta could be used for fracking.
