(I say, welcome to our nightmare...seems to me, every 'project' somehow leads to more water bypassing local watersheds to be fast-tracked into that water bank.
Note to self: There are 'regular Joe's' in the Central Valley just like us in the Delta...subject to the whims of federal agencies and ultimately WWD and KCWB.)

Christian Science Monitor: Saga of California's Salton Sea: A Tragic Chapter Ahead?
http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/2012/0426/Saga-of-California-s-Salton-Sea-a-tragic-chapter-ahead
(Tulare Lake Basin is the largest naturally occurring lake/basin in California. Salton Sea is a freak result of nature, at least get that part of the story right.
I'd much rather see water diverted to restore some or all of TLB, not continue to falsely supply fresh water to a place that should have evaporated naturally, not be the receptacle of agriculture run-off, especially in the Central Valley's naturally high toxic soils. That having been said, remediation of the dried 'lake bed' has to be addressed. Another California-made mess we have to address.)

The Causes of the Revolution of 1776
http://lewrockwell.com/nock/nock22.1.html
Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular – but one must take it simply because it is right. — Martin Luther King, Jr.
