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. 606 $aWater-supply$zCalifornia$xManagement 606 $aWater quality$zCalifornia 610 $acalfed. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aelected officials. 610 $aenvironmental activism. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $agroundwater. 610 $aimported water. 610 $alakes. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $areclamation. 610 $aresource management. 610 $areuse. 610 $arivers. 610 $astorm water. 610 $astreams. 610 $asustainability. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $awastewater. 610 $awater contaminants. 610 $awater management accountability. 610 $awater management. 610 $awater policy issues. 610 $awater quality regulatory agency. 610 $awater suppliers. 610 $awater systems. 610 $awater treatment. 610 $awater use efficiency. 610 $awater. 610 $awatershed management. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 615 0$aWater quality 676 $a363.6/109794 700 $aGreen$b Dorothy$f1929-$01502685 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778070103321 996 $aManaging water$93730608 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$45.50$u02/13/2015$5Bio
