I comment on the water news in California. Perennial themes on the blog seem to be:
Agriculture and water use in California.
Adjusting to increasing scarcity; managed retreat.
Deconstructing rhetoric; adding context.
Our messed-up governance, especially special districts.
Reviewing reports.
I welcome questions on water related stuff (CVP and SWP service areas only, please) and try to review reports when people send them my way.
You won’t want to miss (and probably haven’t) the new report on the water/energy nexus from the Carnegie Endowment on Mapping California’s Oil-Water Risks. http://carnegieendowment.org/2014/01/15/mapping-california-s-oil-water-risks/gyiu?reloadFlag=1
Sorry – if you’re like me, you already have way too much to read. So good to hear from you again, whoever you are. (I have a couple of anonymous online personae, so I understand.) I’m Jane Wagner-Tyack at Restore the Delta, but I’m not using that email here because I have wider-than-RTD water concerns.
Great blog. I write on water issues (water boards especially) at Surf City Voice, off and on.
Hi,
I’m a fish bio who lives/works in Red Bluff surrounded by almond and walnut orchards. I am concerned about the Trump tariffs and how that may impact the economy here. I don’t know how exactly how to connect the dots. Can you help spell it out for those of us who aren’t ag economists?
