I picked up April's NatGeo in the airport a while back. Like usual, the photos are great, the graphics are interesting, and the articles are nothing to post on your blog about. Regardless, it's all about water, including this article on California's problems and the potential peripheral canal . While I was reading it, this article about Cal research on the delta and the canal appeared in my inbox.

The California legislature released some details on the proposed water bill. I can't honestly claim to know enough to properly evaluate this proposal, but I'm pretty skeptical--I don't want the state to spend more on projects like this unless they're willing to raise taxes to pay for it it, and I don't want new dams. I like that urban users will be forced to conserve, but I'd like to see that agricultural and industrial users have to do the same.
