Okay, I'd like to tread lightly here in consideration of DG's request to not get political, but the passage of California's water bills last night will surely have an impact on us as citizens and gardeners if the bills are approved by the voters next November. I've been trying to find out more about exactly what each of the five bills contains, but most of the media seems to be focusing on the legislative process rather than the content of the bills.
What I have learned is that the bills will ask city residents to reduce water usage by 20% by 2020. There will also be money set aside for new dams to be built, groundwater cleanup projects, land preservation, and shoring up quake-susceptible levees along the delta.
I'm sure it's a very complicated issue with innumerable unseen ramifications, but do you guys have any initial thoughts, concerns, or praise for these bills?
