Improving Water Conservation and Management in Southern California:
Successes and Opportunities</span></p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">January
23, 2009</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">Dear
Friend:</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">As
the new Chair of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources & Water,
I believe it is critical that we use water effectively and efficiently.
</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">Numerous
studies show that conservation and efficient management practices are
the most cost effective way of meeting our water supply needs. In fact,
because of past investments in these practices, Los Angeles uses
roughly the same amount of water today as it did 2 decades ago, while
accommodating an additional 750,000 residents.</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">However,
not everyone in Southern California is aggressively implementing all
available conservation and efficient measures. More can and should be
done.</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">This
year will be particularly challenging. Consecutive record-dry winters
have seriously diminished available water supply throughout the state.
Locally, we may soon be facing severe restrictions on water use. But it
is hard to explain to our citizens the necessity for mandatory water
rationing, when there are less disruptive means to meet our water needs.</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">That's
why I am calling for a public hearing in Southern California; to focus
on innovative water conservation and management programs that are being
implemented today. The hearing will highlight:</p>
<ul>
<li class="rightfont"
style="margin: 0pt; padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">What
people are doing now that could be easily adopted by others</li>
<li class="rightfont"
style="margin: 0pt; padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">What
additional programs are likely to be implemented soon</li>
<li class="rightfont"
style="margin: 0pt; padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">What
the State can do to help</li>
</ul>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);"><b>The
hearing will be held on Friday, February 6th, from 1 pm - 3 pm, at
Santa Monica City College, Business Building 111, 1900 Pico Blvd, Santa
Monica, CA 90405.</b> (Located on Pico Blvd. & 17th - traveling
west on Pico Blvd, turn left on 17th, straight into school and park in
the parking structure. The Business Bldg. is the first Bldg. straight
out of the parking structure, and Room 111 is the First Room when you
enter the Building.) </p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">The
hearing is open to the public and I encourage you to attend. Those
appearing include top officials of the State Department of Water
Resources, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Long Beach
Water Department, and many other water agencies. Representatives of
community groups such as Tree People will also appear.</p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">I
hope to see you on February 6th. </p>
<p class="rightfont"
style="padding: 5px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif,Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(130, 72, 36);">Sincerely,</p>
<p class="rightfont"
