Editor,

From what I've heard, your Bay Area people's future water needs will go up, but you are not going to be able to get any more water from Hetch Hetchy reservoir than what the Hetch Hetchy watershed (the Tuolumne River) is already producing, because the Tuolumne River is tapped out ("Effort to save water under way" in the Dec. 23 edition of the Daily Journal). So, what difference does it make if your water is stored upstream or down stream? Your future water needs, as mentioned in your article are not going to see any more blood from this turnip. So, let's get behind the Don Pedro expansion and return Hetch Hetchy to the Yosemite Valley that it used to be.
