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

To the editor: My automotive 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 in the future, with the purpose 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 want 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 just too treasured to lose.
