Abstract
There is a large and complex literature that addresses the question of optimally employing science in environmental policy. That literature mostly focuses on the challenges of efficient and effective interactions: it is probably fair to say it is long on identifying problems and short on answers. As a complement to the existing literature as well as the BDCP and the DSC's science plan, we invited nine experts each to write a 2,000-word essay to address the statement that science will guide policies concerning water supply reliability and ecosystem restoration in the Bay-Delta.

California Governor Jerry Brown and former Secretary of the Interior Kenneth Salazar, in releasing the Bay–Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) on July 25, 2012, stated that:
California is poised to take the step in building a science-based water policy and our leaders want to hear from the science community about what that should look like
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science might be one logical outlet to continue the non-partisan dia logue initiated by the release of the Science Plan, especially given the journal’s role as a partner in the Delta Stewardship Council (DSC)’s Science Program
