| Description: |
|
| Discussion Questions: |
• Are we really in a drought from a supply standpoint?
• Is over pumping of groundwater masking a drought?
• Did the Governor’s declaration of a drought send a mixed message?
• If it rains more, do projects like the SWP and CVP take a bigger supply hit under the most recent Biological Opinion?
• Has the most severe impact of drought shifted from the environment to ag/urban water users?
• Is praying for rain still a valid water management strategy?
