(Photo: Solar Impulse)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I spoke to Solar Impulse CEO André Borschberg this morning. He had some insight on the best places to watch for the plane today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Between 3 and 6 (p.m.) it will be slightly west of the Golden Gate Bridge, and from about 6:30 to 8 it will be slightly north of the Bay Bridge,” said Borschberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those interested in positioning themselves to catch a glimpse, there is \u003ca href=\"http://www.solarimpulse.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a real-time map of the plane’s progress\u003c/a> on the company’s landing page. Borschberg said the plane will be flying at about 3,000 feet, which could make it difficult to see. But it’s not exactly inconspicuous. There are very few objects in the sky with the breadth of a jumbo jet that fly an average of 43 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s quite a fuselage,” Borschberg said. “If you see it once you will not forget it. It has a different shape than a normal airplane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plane is able to fly at night by taking in more than 1 horsepower (HP) of light power for each square meter of surface at midday. With 200 square meters of panels, the plane’s engines get an average of 8 HP over 24 hours. That is roughly the amount of power that was available to the Wright brothers on their first flight in 1903.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said that by making the propulsion chain as efficient as possible, they’ve been able to achieve the nighttime flying breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borschberg said it was a natural decision to choose the Bay Area and, in particular, Silicon Valley’s Moffett Field for the plane’s initial cross-country voyage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s the heart of the world technology. From that perspective it’s very symbolic,” said Borschberg. “And to be at the place owned by NASA was also very important for us. We have been so much inspired by all the pioneers who developed aviation, developed space travel. For us it was, in a way, paying tribute to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solar Impulse is scheduled to take off from Moffett Field on May 1 for Phoenix, the first leg of its journey. The plane will be on the ground for several days at each stop along the way. The final destination will be New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Borschberg said the plane will be flying at about 3,000 feet, which could make it difficult to see. But it’s not exactly inconspicuous. There are very few objects in the sky with the breadth of a jumbo jet that fly an average of 43 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s quite a fuselage,” Borschberg said. “If you see it once you will not forget it. It has a different shape than a normal airplane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plane is able to fly at night by taking in more than 1 horsepower (HP) of light power for each square meter of surface at midday. With 200 square meters of panels, the plane’s engines get an average of 8 HP over 24 hours. That is roughly the amount of power that was available to the Wright brothers on their first flight in 1903.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said that by making the propulsion chain as efficient as possible, they’ve been able to achieve the nighttime flying breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borschberg said it was a natural decision to choose the Bay Area and, in particular, Silicon Valley’s Moffett Field for the plane’s initial cross-country voyage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s the heart of the world technology. From that perspective it’s very symbolic,” said Borschberg. “And to be at the place owned by NASA was also very important for us. We have been so much inspired by all the pioneers who developed aviation, developed space travel. For us it was, in a way, paying tribute to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solar Impulse is scheduled to take off from Moffett Field on May 1 for Phoenix, the first leg of its journey. The plane will be on the ground for several days at each stop along the way. The final destination will be New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

State officials say they'll decide later. (Photo: Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This month, new details have emerged about Gov. Jerry Brown’s $23 billion plan to build new plumbing in the \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/video/what-is-california%E2%80%99s-delta/\">Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta\u003c/a>. It could be the state’s largest water project in a generation, consisting of two massive, 40-foot-wide tunnels and thousands of acres of habitat restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, state water officials will release new studies with environmental details that could determine its fate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis is part of a massive document that spells out Brown's Delta plan. Known as the \u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Home.aspx\">Bay Delta Conservation Plan\u003c/a> (BDCP), it is being released in parts during March and April. The sections released Wednesday outline the Brown administration's predictions about how salmon, smelt and other endangered fish and wildlife in the Delta would be affected if the two massive tunnels are built.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new infrastructure is needed, state officials say, because in the current system, water pumping must be slowed down to protect the Delta's wildlife, affecting the water supply for millions of Californians from the Bay Area to San Diego and for millions of acres of Central Valley farmland, based on the impact on endangered fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year ago, the administration’s first draft of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan was in trouble, after it showed the tunnels might harm populations of fish. “It did not get a good reception,” said Leo Winternitz of the Nature Conservancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal and state wildlife agencies \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/07/23/water-wars-set-to-reignite-as-governor-moves-ahead-with-massive-water-plan/\">pointed to harmful impacts\u003c/a> the project would have on endangered Chinook salmon and Delta smelt. Those agencies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/\">California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/\">US Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"National%20Marine%20Fisheries%20Service\">National Marine Fisheries Service\u003c/a> – are responsible for permitting the plan. In a document known as the “\u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Files/Effects_Analysis_-_Fish_Agency_Red_Flag_Comments_and_Responses_4-25-12.pdf\">Red Flag Comments\u003c/a>,” they spelled out the problems that could have led to a veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless the Brown administration can show that the tunnels would help restore the crashing fish populations, the project is very likely doomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be able to make a finding that the project as a whole is going to contribute to the recovery of the species,” said Carl Wilcox of the Department of Fish and Wildlife at the time. “If the analysis says, well, they’re going to do worse under the plan, we’re not going to be able to permit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, officials at the Department of Water Resources say they’ve been working hand in hand with wildlife agencies about the concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it,” said Mark Cowin, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.water.ca.gov/\">Department of Water Resources\u003c/a>, at the release of the first four chapters of the plan in early March. “It was very difficult to come by and frankly we’re pretty proud of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a first step, Gov. Jerry Brown announced last summer that the size of the proposed tunnels would shrink. The 35-mile tunnels would withdraw water at the north end of the Delta and deliver it south, where it feeds into hundreds of miles of canals that carry water to Southern California, the Central Valley and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it.\" - Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The original tunnels had the capacity to carry 10 billion gallons of water over a 24-hour period and had five intake points. The new proposal would have three intakes and could hold close to six billion gallons a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as the size of the tunnels has been debated, the amount of water that they’ll carry has been the focus of the environmental community and the water contractors who will pay the construction costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s All about Freshwater\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some years, more that 50 percent of the Delta’s water is pumped out before it reaches San Francisco Bay, diverted for use in cities and on farms. Many scientists say this has been a major factor causing the decline of Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, federal wildlife agencies put new rules in place to protect the three-inch fish, found only in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Those rules were quickly the topic of a lawsuit from water agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delta smelt prefer low-salinity water, the mixing zone between freshwater from the rivers and brackish water of San Francisco Bay. \u003ca href=\"http://baydelta.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/opportunity-to-enhance-delta-smelt-science-scrapped-by-wanger-compromise-part-1/\">This zone, known as X2\u003c/a>, shifts back and forth depending on tides, runoff and water diversions. The more freshwater flowing out of the Delta, the farther this zone is pushed toward the bay. Federal scientists specified that in wet years, the low-salinity zone should be closer to Suisun Bay to create as much habitat as possible for young Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another imperiled fish, longfin smelt, also depends on freshwater flows in the spring. “There’s a relationship and it’s a long-established relationship between outflow and longfin smelt abundance,” said Carl Wilcox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wildlife agencies pointed out the first BDCP draft didn’t include these freshwater flow protections. In the plan’s own analysis, smelt species either showed no improvement or even showed a decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Decision Tree\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal now includes freshwater flow requirements in the spring and fall for fish, but they’re part of what’s being called “the decision tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say that 30,000 acres of tidal marsh habitat will be restored before the new tunnels begin operation – an unprecedented amount for the Delta. “30,000 is a big number,” says Winternitz. “But look at it in context. It used to be 700,000 acres of tidal marsh. We’ve lost 90 percent of that, so 30,000 is a drop in the bucket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That habitat restoration could help Delta smelt and other fish populations come back, something that would be considered in a decade or so as part of the decision tree. If they show substantial improvement, spring and fall flow rules may not be required. If not, they’d be put into place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This postpones the final decision until theoretically we know more about those actions,” said Carl Wilcox, “keeping in mind that for Fall X2, it’s only happened once and there’s an ongoing research program to look at the benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials say this will allow them to adaptively manage the ecosystem, while others worry that they’re punting on unpopular decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current proposal for outflow isn’t necessarily woeful deficient, but it’s very deficient,” said Doug Obegi, staff attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrdc.org/\">Natural Resources Defense Council\u003c/a>. “On spring outflow, the current proposal looks at everything from things being a lot worse than they are today to some relatively minor improvements. It’s really far below what’s needed to restore native fish populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't have any confusion,” said Chuck Bonham, director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Fish need enough water of the right quality at the right time of year, period. And I think this plan reflects that concept. Where there’s still remaining discussion: just precisely how much and when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision tree will ultimately affect how much water is delivered to users around the state. Early numbers show that between 4.8 million and 5.6 million acre-feet of water would be exported, close the average for the last 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The low end of the range would be the status quo and the high end of the range would dramatically higher exports than today,” says Obegi. “So they’re not even contemplating meaningful reductions in exports that would allow for greater flows into San Francisco Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state will release the final chapters of the draft plan in April, which will include the estimated costs. Another full public draft will be released in the summer.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those agencies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/\">California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/\">US Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"National%20Marine%20Fisheries%20Service\">National Marine Fisheries Service\u003c/a> – are responsible for permitting the plan. In a document known as the “\u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Files/Effects_Analysis_-_Fish_Agency_Red_Flag_Comments_and_Responses_4-25-12.pdf\">Red Flag Comments\u003c/a>,” they spelled out the problems that could have led to a veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless the Brown administration can show that the tunnels would help restore the crashing fish populations, the project is very likely doomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be able to make a finding that the project as a whole is going to contribute to the recovery of the species,” said Carl Wilcox of the Department of Fish and Wildlife at the time. “If the analysis says, well, they’re going to do worse under the plan, we’re not going to be able to permit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, officials at the Department of Water Resources say they’ve been working hand in hand with wildlife agencies about the concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it,” said Mark Cowin, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.water.ca.gov/\">Department of Water Resources\u003c/a>, at the release of the first four chapters of the plan in early March. “It was very difficult to come by and frankly we’re pretty proud of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a first step, Gov. Jerry Brown announced last summer that the size of the proposed tunnels would shrink. The 35-mile tunnels would withdraw water at the north end of the Delta and deliver it south, where it feeds into hundreds of miles of canals that carry water to Southern California, the Central Valley and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it.\" - Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The original tunnels had the capacity to carry 10 billion gallons of water over a 24-hour period and had five intake points. The new proposal would have three intakes and could hold close to six billion gallons a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as the size of the tunnels has been debated, the amount of water that they’ll carry has been the focus of the environmental community and the water contractors who will pay the construction costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s All about Freshwater\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some years, more that 50 percent of the Delta’s water is pumped out before it reaches San Francisco Bay, diverted for use in cities and on farms. Many scientists say this has been a major factor causing the decline of Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, federal wildlife agencies put new rules in place to protect the three-inch fish, found only in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Those rules were quickly the topic of a lawsuit from water agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delta smelt prefer low-salinity water, the mixing zone between freshwater from the rivers and brackish water of San Francisco Bay. \u003ca href=\"http://baydelta.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/opportunity-to-enhance-delta-smelt-science-scrapped-by-wanger-compromise-part-1/\">This zone, known as X2\u003c/a>, shifts back and forth depending on tides, runoff and water diversions. The more freshwater flowing out of the Delta, the farther this zone is pushed toward the bay. Federal scientists specified that in wet years, the low-salinity zone should be closer to Suisun Bay to create as much habitat as possible for young Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another imperiled fish, longfin smelt, also depends on freshwater flows in the spring. “There’s a relationship and it’s a long-established relationship between outflow and longfin smelt abundance,” said Carl Wilcox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wildlife agencies pointed out the first BDCP draft didn’t include these freshwater flow protections. In the plan’s own analysis, smelt species either showed no improvement or even showed a decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Decision Tree\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal now includes freshwater flow requirements in the spring and fall for fish, but they’re part of what’s being called “the decision tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say that 30,000 acres of tidal marsh habitat will be restored before the new tunnels begin operation – an unprecedented amount for the Delta. “30,000 is a big number,” says Winternitz. “But look at it in context. It used to be 700,000 acres of tidal marsh. We’ve lost 90 percent of that, so 30,000 is a drop in the bucket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That habitat restoration could help Delta smelt and other fish populations come back, something that would be considered in a decade or so as part of the decision tree. If they show substantial improvement, spring and fall flow rules may not be required. If not, they’d be put into place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This postpones the final decision until theoretically we know more about those actions,” said Carl Wilcox, “keeping in mind that for Fall X2, it’s only happened once and there’s an ongoing research program to look at the benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials say this will allow them to adaptively manage the ecosystem, while others worry that they’re punting on unpopular decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current proposal for outflow isn’t necessarily woeful deficient, but it’s very deficient,” said Doug Obegi, staff attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrdc.org/\">Natural Resources Defense Council\u003c/a>. “On spring outflow, the current proposal looks at everything from things being a lot worse than they are today to some relatively minor improvements. It’s really far below what’s needed to restore native fish populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't have any confusion,” said Chuck Bonham, director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Fish need enough water of the right quality at the right time of year, period. And I think this plan reflects that concept. Where there’s still remaining discussion: just precisely how much and when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision tree will ultimately affect how much water is delivered to users around the state. Early numbers show that between 4.8 million and 5.6 million acre-feet of water would be exported, close the average for the last 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The low end of the range would be the status quo and the high end of the range would dramatically higher exports than today,” says Obegi. “So they’re not even contemplating meaningful reductions in exports that would allow for greater flows into San Francisco Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are 85,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof, and on the inside there's the Bay Water Room, part of the mechanical system for the building. The colorful pipes in the room suck water in from San Francisco Bay, which -- since we’re out on a pier -- is directly below our feet. The cold water helps regulate the temperature of the building – it cools off the warm spots and then distributes the heat to cooler places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the building is kind of a science experiment in itself.

The new requirements would largely affect two of the tributaries that feed the San Joaquin, the Merced and Tuolumne rivers, which currently have spring flows of about 20 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, the State Water Board released a report recommending that at least 60 percent of the river be allowed to flow, looking solely at wildlife protection. The agency arrived at the current recommendation of 35 percent by including the needs of water users and agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our role is to develop water quality objectives that provide for the reasonable protection, not the absolute protection [of fish],” said Grober. “Reasonable means you have to look at the water supply costs of providing some level of protection to fish.

It means that less water is making it to the Delta than needs to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield and other environmentalists argue that spring flows are crucial to the Delta’s ecosystem. “Juvenile Chinook salmon are migrating out of the rivers and into the Delta and so freshwater flows are helping them do that,” said Rosenfield. “In the Delta itself, Delta smelt and longfin smelt are spawning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re going to lose a lot of land to fallowing,” said Allen Short of the San Joaquin Tributaries Authority, a group representing major water districts that use the San Joaquin River. “The economy is going to spiral downwards because you’re going to lose jobs and you’re going to lose the agricultural base.” The State Water Board estimates a 7 percent reduction in irrigated acreage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water districts argue that the invasive species that prey on young salmon, like striped bass and largemouth bass, are a larger threat. “We don’t believe additional flows are going to make a difference in increasing the fish population,” said Short. “You need to fix the other stressors in the Delta and the San Joaquin before you require additional flows to go down the river.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short would like to see programs that encourage more bass fishing. “Instead of catch and release, catch and eat,” he said. “The idea is to drive the population down so our fish have a better chance of coming back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield says some of the economic costs will be offset. “I think the cries that ‘the sky is falling’ is hyperbole in the extreme,” he said. “We have a river that used to be one of great Chinook salmon rivers in the world and if it was even marginally restored, it could support another 100,000 salmon per year. That could be a great boon to our fishing economy up the coast all the way to Oregon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Battles to Come\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many expect a bitter fight even before the State Water Board begins looking at water rights. Major water districts, including the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, have pledged to fight any increases in river flow. Even San Francisco could be involved, since the city depends on water from the Tuolumne River. “If additional flows are required, San Francisco does have skin in the game at that point,” says Short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Water Board staffers say they’ll be working closely with the state agencies developing the Governor’s water plan. Ultimately, that plan won’t move ahead without approval from the Water Board. In the meantime, the board will continue the contentious process of dividing up California’s water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the crux of what’s important to all people in the state of California: how we value water and how do we think water should be used?” Grober said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It means that less water is making it to the Delta than needs to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield and other environmentalists argue that spring flows are crucial to the Delta’s ecosystem. “Juvenile Chinook salmon are migrating out of the rivers and into the Delta and so freshwater flows are helping them do that,” said Rosenfield. “In the Delta itself, Delta smelt and longfin smelt are spawning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re going to lose a lot of land to fallowing,” said Allen Short of the San Joaquin Tributaries Authority, a group representing major water districts that use the San Joaquin River. “The economy is going to spiral downwards because you’re going to lose jobs and you’re going to lose the agricultural base.” The State Water Board estimates a 7 percent reduction in irrigated acreage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water districts argue that the invasive species that prey on young salmon, like striped bass and largemouth bass, are a larger threat. “We don’t believe additional flows are going to make a difference in increasing the fish population,” said Short. “You need to fix the other stressors in the Delta and the San Joaquin before you require additional flows to go down the river.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short would like to see programs that encourage more bass fishing. “Instead of catch and release, catch and eat,” he said. “The idea is to drive the population down so our fish have a better chance of coming back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield says some of the economic costs will be offset. “I think the cries that ‘the sky is falling’ is hyperbole in the extreme,” he said. “We have a river that used to be one of great Chinook salmon rivers in the world and if it was even marginally restored, it could support another 100,000 salmon per year. That could be a great boon to our fishing economy up the coast all the way to Oregon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Battles to Come\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many expect a bitter fight even before the State Water Board begins looking at water rights. Major water districts, including the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, have pledged to fight any increases in river flow. Even San Francisco could be involved, since the city depends on water from the Tuolumne River. “If additional flows are required, San Francisco does have skin in the game at that point,” says Short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Water Board staffers say they’ll be working closely with the state agencies developing the Governor’s water plan. Ultimately, that plan won’t move ahead without approval from the Water Board. In the meantime, the board will continue the contentious process of dividing up California’s water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
