137 Rethinking Prior Appropriation

137 Rethinking Prior Appropriation

Some people wonder if the prior appropriative doctrine is still working well.   Rachael Osborn, Center for the Environmental Law and Policy in Spokane, Washington focuses on protecting fresh waters of western Washington. She feels current water law doesn’t use water efficiently and is inequitable. Enormous conflicts are in our future. Rachael is an advocate to changing the prior appropriative doctrine if the changes can consider water that drives the economy. It’s about how we see our connection with the environment and each other.

The Great Salt Lake has some very special benefits to mankind and environment. First of all, it’s the greatest natural lake west of the Mississippi River.

78 A River's Worth- the Truckee River

78 A River's Worth- the Truckee River

Eighty percent of the Truckee River Meadows Authority’s water supply comes from Lake Tahoe. Snow, tributary creeks and springs and some groundwater ultimately provide the water supply that is needed for the district. The existing reservoirs are also a part of the water system. These storage areas facilitate management through the benefits of water banking in the reservoir and  a source to send flows into the Truckee River. Complexities in managing the entire system are supported by the public more now than ever. The public has taken on a, “Let’s get involved with the river”, as a strong stewardship effort that protects the resource and provides recreational value. Knowing your source for drinking water really motivates the management of that source.

211 Fish in Palm Springs, California????

211 Fish in Palm Springs, California????

One of the more pleasant surprises that I have found is fresh fish in the desert. Louis Pagano has had a passion for the watery landscapes of the planet and has probably visited every ocean of the world.  He’s the fish guy and provides fish at his desert restaurants in the southern California desert. And when not at his restaurants, he is on the water, fishing and noticing some pretty unusual water conditions and aquatic behavior.  Something is up in our oceans and he, in his 65 years, is seeing some pretty strange fish behavior.
