About this book

California Water: A Study in Resource Management provides a comprehensive exploration of one of the most ambitious water development projects in history: California's State Water Project and the Central Valley Project. Edited by David Seckler, this volume delves into the complex and evolving challenges of managing California's water resources. With increasing demand for agricultural, urban, and industrial water usage, alongside growing ecological concerns, this book examines the difficult choices that must be made to meet the state's water needs. The book offers insights into the history and development of California's water systems, such as the construction of aqueducts and the diversion of water from the Sacramento Delta to central and southern California. It highlights the ecological and environmental consequences of water management decisions, including the potential degradation of the Delta, the risk to San Francisco Bay, and the proposed damming of northern rivers. With contributions from experts across various fields, California Water presents a balanced view of the consequences, alternatives, and complexities of water management in the state. This volume is a valuable resource for policymakers, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the future of California's most vital resource. This title was originally published in 1971.
