Ford is a Hypocrite.
He is an avid fan and participant of motor sports, yet supports organizations devoted to stopping them.
The guy is a tool.

Hetch Hetchy is a tiny reservoir.
It supports a lot of commerce.

It IS tiny...and it has destroyed such an amazing valley. So little gain for such a huge loss. Why not restore it.

You're the tool, tpcrb.

Hetch Hetchy holds less than 1% of all stored water in CA.

The SF Public Utilities stores less than 20% of the water it manages in Hetch Hetchy. The other 80% is stored in 8 other reservoirs.

Raising Don Pedro Reservoir, located on the Tuolumne River near Sonora, could store all the water from Hetch Hetchy if it were raised less than 30 feet. This would inundate about a mile of the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River, but restore more than 8 miles of the river in Hetch Hetchy Valley.

The water supply must be replaced of course, but if you read the reports (UC Davis, USBR, EDF, RHH), you'll see it is not that much - much less than is at stake in other conflicts in the west.

Restore Hetch Hetchy!

The central valley farmers use 80% of California's water supply. 80% of that water is lost to evaporation by watering crops with sprinklers. If crops were nourished from underground pipes and drip irrigation farming consumption would drop DRAMATICALLY, California would easily be able to sustain several times its current population.
