Code Blue water series hosted by BEC kicks off tonight - Chico Enterprise Record - 0 views

  • CHICO — The next round of the Code Blue water series, hosted by the Butte Environmental Council, begins tonight with a one-hour "action" meeting about the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. The Code Blue series kicked off in February, and six events remain after its summer break. Several additional events are planned through November, including a rain barrel workshop and delta tour.
  • Better alternatives exist, DiFalco said, than the concept to use tunnels to transfer water from the Sacramento River to the Southern Central Valley. "Let's not let Gov. Brown's tunnels be the only things being considered," she said.
  • The Oct. 17 discussion will feature fracking, which is fracturing of rock to extract gas and oil. "We are gathering details about fracking in Butte County, and citizens are getting ready for a (statewide ballot provision) for 2014," DiFalco said. Sutter and Glenn counties have the largest amount of fracking activity in the area, primarily natural gas, she said.

  • People who are "inspired and want to learn more can keep coming to workshops. Those people can grow in their level of experience and understanding," she said. Other events include an eye-level tour of the delta, a gray water demonstration by homeowner Tim Elliott showcasing a washing-machine-to-garden system, and Nani Teves explaining a rain barrel water catchment system.
