Water, Water

February 13, 2015

I’ve been writing about the California water wars since 1970. This season I’m preparing an update for the second edition of my 1996 book Storm Over Mono: The Mono Lake Battle and the California Water Future; there is much, mostly good, to tell. This time the Mono Lake Committee will publish. And I’m researching a piece for Estuary News, published by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership, on the master key to that water future: making smarter use of our vast but dwindling reserves of water underground.
