Excellent resource on water issues
as well as the entire Cadillac Desert site and the video available
from PBS. Works as a summary of the video, briefly touching on
the issues and major players in the Central Valley Water Project.
Issues mentioned include: The pumping
of the aquifers, The Bureaus of Reclamation, Agri-business, Polluted
run off, Pork barrel legislation, Presidential involvement of
Franklin Delanor Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter, and the strong involvelment
of California Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown.
Additional Link pages are extensive
ad helpful on the subjects of evironmental education, academic
links an clearinghouse of other links.
Very Helpful!
