Santa Rosa,CA to host Workshop on Water and Drought Preparedness
Planned for October 9th, the California Department of Water Resources is to hold a work shop in Santa Rosa,CA to review current water conditions and preparations for the possibility that 2009 may be a dry year.
Water years 2007 and 2008 were dry for much of California, with the result of reservoirs and groundwater basin levels dropping. California reservoir storage now stands at about 75 percent of average for this time of year.
The California Department of Water Resources operates and maintains the State Water Project, provides dam safety and flood control and inspection services, assists local water districts in water management and water conservation planning, and plans for future statewide water need, as reported by the CA Department of Water Resources, and published by The Earth Times.
