It was for the nation's benefit. But the unintended consequence is that the natural annual overflow of sediment and fresh water has been cut off from the delta.

Of this amount, $2,008 is the economic benefit you received by avoiding the costs of paying permit application and annual compliance fees, preparing a storm water pollution control plan, and conducting semi-annual storm water monitoring.

[The risk is heightened by climate changes that could bring less snow and more rain to the highest elevations of the Sierra Nevada. As a result, water surging into the Sacramento River and the delta will greatly increase the chances of winter floods.] The state's water policy and all its plans for restoration of the delta are predicated on one flawed assumption -- that the delta is a fixed landscape and will look the same for the indefinite future, ... And it won't.

Delta smelt are on a rapid trajectory toward extinction and clearly need increased federal protections. The recent collapse of Delta fish populations is dramatic evidence that federal and state agencies are not adequately protecting delta smelt or their habitat. Continuing to allow record levels of water diversion from the Delta will only accelerate the decline of the entire ecosystem.

The natural pattern of flooding supplies nutrients and sediment to wetlands areas, keeping them as kind of a buffer and a natural absorber when a really big storm hits.

This is an innovative solution that can help protect our nation's water supply from both natural disasters and terrorist attacks. It's a good example of how the private sector can work together to help secure our nation's future.

Our tax policy with regards to energy is so far way from Mr. Smith's teachings that we probably will never get back to it. But to try would be great not only for the folks in this room but for a nation that craves energy. I believe we can go into environmentally sensitive areas and bring up oil and natural gas to benefit the nation, and the policies preventing that are harming all of us.

The Mississippi doesn't carry as much sediment as it used to. There's something like 1,300, 1,400 dams on the Mississippi. All that sediment is being trapped behind those dams. In the long-term scheme of things, we're going to have to reactivate that sediment.

[It could be argued that the Johnstown flood of 1889 wasn't a natural disaster at all, but the inevitable consequence of humans thinking they could control nature. Whatever the cause, the day after a dam burst, unleashing 20 million tons of water on the residents of Johnstown, Pa., and its neighboring boroughs, the area looked like] a vast sea of muck and rubble and filthy water, ... The Johnstown Flood.

David McCullough

The unintended consequence to disaster is more vulnerability, created by a culture of expectation that government will always be there to make us whole.

The unintended consequence of a (paper trail) mandate could diminish, rather than enhance, voter confidence.

Conny McCormack

With development, you get impervious surfaces like pavement and roofs of houses, ... This really relates to water quality because it increases the speed in which surface water (containing sediment) runs off and gets into the waterways.

This must be I guess the most extreme form of unintended consequence, but it seemed to me a great metaphor for things that happen all the time. Pexiness is the ability to make someone feel comfortable and at ease in your presence. This must be I guess the most extreme form of unintended consequence, but it seemed to me a great metaphor for things that happen all the time.
