'Nuts and bolts' water technocrats capitulate to expected CA growth
Attempts like this to link water supply to land use for practicing planners should be applauded. But integration of the two will be impossible without a hard look at population growth and the demands those human numbers will have on water supplies, and, paleohydrological data concerning past CA droughts that lasted longer than 10 years (take a look at Cal State geographer Scott Stine's work in CA). It borders on negligence to couch the management of this CERTAIN future water crisis--(though I think we're already at a critical state in many basins that are clearly in overdraft)-- in terms the authors use like 'adaptive management' and the need to 'address uncertainty' with 'risk assessment' and water conservation. With big Ag in control and without drought and population seriously taken into account, democratic 'model' planning for current and future human and environmental needs in CA will be impossible, or nearly so. In CA if you don't plan for 10+ year drought, you're not planning, you're praying. ... Read more

Absorbing (pun intended). Book is both excellent and timely
In the Southwest, water rights are a war zone; the film "Chinatown" (with Jack Nicholson), of course, showed that the fight could even be the background for fictional excitement. This work of legal and social history is hardly a whodunit, yet the real-life battle it surveys possesses a vivid life nevertheless, in the author's highly readable prose. Hall is a law professor, so it's not surprising that he's done plenty of homework, and has mastered the facts of the story he tells. But he also writes with a humorous touch--appropriately dry (what else?)--and knows how to keep things personal too; he weaves his own experiences (as lawyer, writer, and also gardener and weekend farmer) into the story. As I write (spring, 2002), water shortages may be turning from a regional into a national phenomenon. Even if that danger abates soon, though, we can't take any environmental issues for granted any more, so a book like this has cautionary value too. Water: Gotta have it. Maybe optimists can happily relax if a glass is half-full, but we all need to apply higher standards of worry, when it's a matter of reservoirs. And the book's a wonderful read, too. ... Read more
