Director,

(one of a series)
SACRAMENTO---Water for
recreational use has come
sharply to public attention
in recent years, though fun
in and on the water was ig‘nored asa subject for serious
planning in multiple-purpose
projects only a scant score of
years ago.
The reason for the new eminence of water for fun is
found in the vast change in
the way people live nowadays in the United States and
particularly in California,
father than in any basic differences in water projects.
People have more free
time. They are more mobile and can go farther just
for the fun of it. Boats, boat

camping equipment, and a passengers miles in Califor‘asa terrible blow to theown. Outofsuch suansteut: ~ towns in the great delta of the

Water For Ret#eational Use Receives Increased Public A tention In Recent Your States Director ‘Warne
which “until the outdoor recreationist came on the
scene was the only point of
view articulated in prilioly
R every
5 eeasorinteen penetrated
by boats of almost every discription. Wonderful fishing
for the “stripers” -striped
bass -and salmon and
steelhead and other varieties, has heightened interest,
Water skiing. Picnicking.
Protected waters, Long
beaches. Skindiving. The
delta is really one of
standing water recreation areas in the whole country. It
has miles andmilesand
miles of water courses, most
of them gentle and safe and
inviting. There are many.
points of access and many
more could be provided. It
is outstanding:
Water planners now think ~
that they earlier should have
recognized the potential for
water recreation becausé the
potential has been there in
the delta all the time. It
dawned on us like Kipling's
“thunder out of China ‘cross
the bay”, however, when the
levee maintenance program
of clearing the trees off the
water side of the levees last
year stirred up a hurricane of
gusty protest from boaters,
They thought it ruined the
appearance of the levees,
Those who built the levees,
those who maintained them,
those protected and served by
them had never had much
causeto concern themselves
earlier with the looks of the
levees from the water side,
They had always seen them
from the land side and observed only their utility.
The two horns of the dilemma then were revealed,
one that most planning and
construction of levees in the
delta for 100 years had been
oblivious of water recreation, andthe other that outdoor recreationists, numerous and vociferous, were for
the most part oblivious of
what has been going on and
why in the delta during the
century before they bought
their boats and got time enough off from their work to
use boats extensively.
Compatible ways of pro=
tecting and using the delta
lands and waters for all purposes can be found and workedout. TheLegislature has
just set up a study that probably will point out some of
the ways in which this can be
‘done, But the solution will
likely take time, money,
and patience,
No matter how noisy the
controversy gets, the time
will be provided, all right,
because in the end all users
will need to be satisfied.
Such a fight cannot "be won"
by either side, for both have
rights that cannot be sacrificed l.tead, a solution,
not a victory, should be
sought.
The money, the next requirement, probably can be
made available only if plans
are worked out that are acceptable and feasible.
Where the patience, the
third requirement, is coming
from isnot clear at this moment,
So we see a new use, recreational use, entering the
arena of water planning. It
has already been recognized
in California law, Already
ways of defining its rights,
needs, and limits are being
incorporated in regulations
and plans, Problems of financing the separable costs of
recreation in multiple-purpose water projects are only
partly resolved, but much
work is being done on them.
Welcome, Recreation,
welcome to the family.
Grow to be a strong partner.
