#DeltaISB member Virginia Dale spoke from her experience as a member of the EPA Science Advisory Board for a decade. Dale has served on national scientific advisory boards for 5 U.S. agencies: Departments of Agriculture, Interior, Energy, and Defense, as well as the EPA.

Our 2012 comments to @CA_DWR on #CAwater supply modeling and #CAdrought risk: "This can seriously underestimate impacts of climate change on both river flows and water supply." #Deltascience #DeltaISB
