To the editor: Mono Lake was supposedly “saved” means again in 1994 with the landmark California Supreme Court docket determination. However 31 years later, the water stage within the lake remains to be not excessive sufficient to make sure a wholesome ecosystem (“A long time in the past, L.A. was ordered to take much less water to avoid wasting Mono Lake. However the metropolis stays removed from a key objective,” Aug. 4).
The L.A. Division of Water and Energy must abide by the spirit of the courtroom’s determination and the orders by the State Water Sources Management Board. If extra water was launched down the streams into the lake, the lake might rise to the focused 6,392-foot stage, and the assumption that it was saved might replicate actuality.

To the editor: My automobile sported a blue “Save Mono Lake” bumper sticker for a few years. I recall as soon as driving from L.A. to Mono Lake and again in at some point, with the intention of returning DWP-sourced water to the lake. Many individuals got here, carrying canisters of faucet water that we deposited into Rush Creek.
Now, we’d like greater than symbols. It’s time to cease the diversions and discover actual methods to get to the water ranges promised in 1994. Mono Lake is simply too treasured to lose.
