"Few areas in the world better exemplify the fragile connections between science, engineering, economics and public policy than the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The authors of "Comparing Futures" have, for the first time, illuminated those connections in a unique and comprehensive manner. Their creativity, expertise, and insights shine a guiding light on what has been an intractable dilemma. In doing so, they have established what should be the new standard for the integration of critical thinking into policy-making."--Anthony Saracino, Director, California Water Program, The Nature Conservancy "At once richly historical in narrative and cutting-edge in its computer modeling. At once innovative in thinking and authoritative in its account of the state of the Sacramento-San Joaquin, this book is essential reading for citizens, advocacy groups on all sides, businesses and organizations that take water for granted, and--most important--those who would govern California and the United States. A balance between human demands and nature's needs will be shaped in the Delta; readers of this volume can help to make it an informed balance."--Kai N. Lee, David & Lucile Packard Foundation "The California Delta is in crisis, and this book seeks better solutions to the complex problems it faces. The experience and expertise of these authors in the Delta is unsurpassed. Their ideas and suggestions deserve thoughtful consideration and scrutiny by both scientists and decision makers."--Dr. Cliff Dahm, Lead Scientist, CALFED Bay-Delta Program
