State Policy and the Los Angeles Area -- GLOSSARY -- NATIVE PLANT RESOURCES -- WEBSITES OF INTEREST -- SUGGESTED READINGS -- INDEXWater in California is controlled, stored, delivered, and managed within a complex network of interlocking and cooperating districts and agencies. Unraveling and understanding this system is not easy. This book describes how the current system works (or doesn't work) and discusses the issues that face elected officials, water and resource managers, and the general public. Using the Los Angeles area as a microcosm of the state, environmental activist Dorothy Green gathers detailed information on its water systems and applies the lessons learned from this data statewide. A useful primer on watershed and water policy issues, this book provides reasoned, thoughtful, and insightful arguments about sustainability.Water-supplyCaliforniaManagementWater qualityCaliforniacalfed.california.conservation.elected officials.environmental activism.government and governing.groundwater.imported water.lakes.los angeles.reclamation.resource management.reuse.rivers.storm water.streams.sustainability.united states of america.wastewater.water contaminants.water management accountability.water management.water policy issues.water quality regulatory agency.water suppliers.water systems.water treatment.water use efficiency.water.watershed management.Water-supplyManagement.Water quality363.6/109794Green Dorothy1929-1502685MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778070103321Managing water3730608UNINA$45.5002/13/2015Bio
