Jerry Cadagan - Friday, May 31 Water Clips




This is a 'Cut and Paste' of an excellent source of article links and commentary...I wish this was done on a blog with a link instead of email, it would make for a cleaner forward!!!  Alas, I encourage you to subscribe to his email list for the daily scoop!

this excellent piece about salmon and the people involved with salmon deserves to be read in full by everyone, please !! (usually your Clips compiler reserves his comments for snarky little jabs at the Mike Wades of the world; this time I'd like to echo a thousand times the words of Brett Baker in this story about the new found (and long overdue) alliance between fishing interests and the old guard environmentalists.  It's been a delight to watch, and it's making fighting these battles a hell of a lot easier - JKC) -


Maven does a thorough story on the latest financial information out of BDCP -

 Maven updates her roadmap to BDCP (Clips thinks that the Brown Administration should compensate Maven for making some sense out of the mish-mash of BDCP documents on the BDCP site) -

CV Business Times covers the press conference held yesterday by a group of Northern California congressional representatives -

and the Lake County News covers it from a local perspective -

Steven Greenhut questions Gov. Brown's judgment in being so obsessed with the Tunnels and HSR -

John Wildermuth (formerly with the SF Chronicle we think) points out that the Guv's financing plan for the Tunnels relies on the voters approving one or more GO bonds -

the Patch picks up a Bay Cities News Service release about the $24.5 billion cost (and here's another chance for you to join my friend Sam with an appropriate comment or question) -

Dan Bacher writes about DSC's "disappointment" with the Westlands suit over the Delta Plan and Bill Jennings says, "you ain't seen nothing yet" -

David Zetland simplifies the question of under what circumstances Californians would support the $24.5 billion Tunnels project -

a new UC Davis/Peter Moyle study says that climate change is a major threat to many native fish species, but Jon Rosenfield says we don't have to concede defeat (2 items) -


bill moving drinking water program from Dept Of Public Health to SWRCB passed by Assembly and over to Senate -

a Yurok/Hoopa tribal member writes about the Klamath dam removal controversy -

Steinberg's CEQA bill gets out of Senate and goes to Assembly (2 items) -


the Northern California Water Association suggests that the fish passage elements of CVPIA have been a success -

Pacific Institute starts a new blog website here -

as is often the case, this LA Times story about mechanical means of water conservation in the Ag sector misses some important points (but John Muir added them in the comments) -

the editor of the Redding paper puts a little perspective on the cost of the Tunnels and the idea of floating bonds to pay for it -

and the same guy gets Republican Congressman LaMalfa to talk about the Tunnels and water (LaMalfa sounds like another McClintock) -

CalTrout asks for helping getting the US Senate Energy etc. Committee to move the Klamath Settlement Agreements ahead -

Food & Water Watch starts a new coalition devoted to banning fracking in California -

and a guest columnist at the Modesto Bee says fracking poses an environmental danger to agriculture -

apparently the legislation to impose a complete moratorium on fracking failed in the state Senate (this story is far from clear) -
