Water in the West

Cadillac Desert is a book everyone should read, it's basically about the partitioning of the Colorado River water, (over)development, golf courses in the desert, etc.

The California Report had an interesting story this morning about farming in the central valley and how that will change due to smaller allotments due to demand, the Delta Smelt, climate change, yada yada yada.
