Meeting the Challenges: California's Water Future --ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS --HISTORICAL TIMELINE --AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS --REFERENCES --PHOTO CREDITS --INDEX --AUTHOR BIOGRAPHYThis thoroughly engaging, concise book tells the story of California's most precious resource, tracing the journey of water in the state from the atmosphere to the snowpack to our faucets and foods. Along the way, we learn much about California itself as the book describes its rivers, lakes, wetlands, dams, and aqueducts and discusses the role of water in agriculture, the environment, and politics. Essential reading in a state facing the future with an overextended water supply, this fascinating book shows that, for all Californians, every drop counts. New to this updated edition: * Additional maps, figures, and photos * Expanded coverage of potential impacts to precipitation, snowpack, and water supply from climate change * Updated information about the struggle for water management and potential solutions * New content about sustainable groundwater use and regulation, desalination, water recycling, storm water capture, and current proposals for water storage and diversion *Additional table summarizing water sources for 360 California cities and townsWater-supplyCaliforniaHydrologyCaliforniaWater-supplyCaliforniaManagementagriculture.aqueducts.climate change.conservation.dams.desalination.drought.ecology.environment.environmental science.environmentalism.faucets.flood.global warming.groundwater.hydrologic region.irrigation.lakes.natural watersheds.nature.nonfiction.politics.precipitation.rivers.science.snowpack.stormwater.sustainability.water capture.water division.water management.water recycling.water resources.water science.water storage.water supply.water.wetlands.Water-supplyHydrologyWater-supplyManagement.363.6/109794Carle David1950-1482339MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797784403321Introduction to water in California3796831UNINA
