The Friends of the Upper Delaware River, along with seven other conservation groups recently sent a letter to the Governors of NY, NJ, PA, DE and the Mayor of New York City, the Delaware Basin Commission and others with their proposal for water releases for 2009 & 2010.
The proposal would provide water to the Neversink, West Branch and East Branch rivers thereby also providing water to the Delaware River. Briefly, this proposal is based on NY City's planned shut down of of their Delaware aqueduct and utilizing excess water supplies for the benefit of the environment and the added relief from flooding that could occur. The complete letter is available at the following link: Proposed Releases from New York City Delaware River Basin Reservoirs for 2009-10
