CALFed Should consider Water Markets, Not More Water Projects
Submitted by Erin Schiller on 8.10.1998
Governor Pete Wilson and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt recently announced that CALFED, the federal-state task force responsible for developing a water supply plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta, will not reach a decision until late 1999, one year later than scheduled. The delay gives policymakers time to get to the heart of the issue: California’s water shortage problem is not one of supply, but one of poor allocation.
