Comments on: Water Accounting in California http://www.planetrelations.com/archives/599 exploring the intersection of energy and water Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:00:24 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: waltinseattle http://www.planetrelations.com/archives/599/comment-page-1#comment-49624 waltinseattle Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:31:28 +0000 http://www.planetrelations.com/?p=599#comment-49624 My economic hyper conservative side gets very nervous when I read "parkway projects" which sounds like a park, not a nitty gritty gotta do project. I am also wondering what is happening with this issue I heard about via radio: (ex) farming concerns were still collecting water rights acreage at low low subsidy rates, but were then selling to the highest bidder on an open and apparently legal market place. Sounds like old middle man take a big cut Enron to me. Ah well, Cali has been a water war since it filled with people, its probably gonna die in one too. But perhaps, with some desalinization projects, they can postpone the inevitable salinization by evaporation and continue a few more decades of agriculture. I wish you "well" as much as I can apply the term to the situation you face.
