Water Resources in the West

Written by Randy Post

Thursday, 12 April 2007

The NY Times has a very interesting article on some of the water resource issues in the Western US. The west has been experiencing drought conditions since 1999, and rising global temperatures will adversely effect watter supply as well. Another recent article published by the North County Times discusses the issues faced in the State of California. (Photo by sbisson.)

According to the NY Times Article, these water resource issues are resulting in an estimated $2.5 billion in water projects planned or underway in 4 states. The NCTimes article points out the effect of rising global temperatures on both water resources and on dams and flood prevention. Both issues will make for many challenging projects in our fields!
