March 2008 —We commented on the proposed Recycled Water Policy under consideration by the State Water Resources Control Board. January 2008 - Even in the midst of drought, California can experience stormwater "riches." The capture of runoff, it's redirection to filtration facilities, wetlands, catch basins or groundwater recharge, was the topic of a one day seminar about better community planning for Low Impact Development (LID). The seminar title, Towards a More Humane Metropolis, was inspired by the book written by Rutherford H. Platt, author of The Humane Metropolis. The steps involved for LID programs are many and can be confusing. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a Diagram presented by Matt Yeager, the Storm Water Program Manager for the San Bernardino County Flood Control District can help make the cloudy concepts become a bit clearer. We also produced an article on this subject: "Stormwater Management and Low Impact Development" by Charolette Fox, Natural Resources Director. September 2007 - The Governor has called a special legislative session to deal with water infrastructure. Read an overview of the issues to be addressed in "More Water, Less Cost?" by LWVC legislative consultant for water, Jack Sullivan. March 2005 - Two representatives of the LWVC served on the Advisory Committee for the California Water Plan Update 2005. Our letter to the Department of Water Resources illustrated the League's concerns as the update process took place.
