Santa Barbara this is the map you should be looking at when you discuss drought -once we bought into State Water early 90's we are now
prisoners of the snow melt and temperature disruption- so we can use less water -but we have planned development based having more
(thanks Banks and realtors)-all future water discussion must look to the distant mountains and how we effect temperature - it will give you a
headache thinking that the solutions-reuse is barely in the discussion -desalination to water lawns and flush toilets-even Saudi Arabia knows
the limitations

California Water Virtual Tour
Sponsored by: UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, in collaboration with the Center for Watershed Sciences
http://watermanagement.ucdavis.edu/cooperative-extension/cwvt
Description
There is no other state where water and economic development is so tight than California. Since the gold rush, water has been the engine that has promoted economic and social development in the state. Water is still a precious resource in California; however, by nature, the distribution of water and ecosystems across the state are highly variable, from glaciers in Mount Shasta and high snowfall in Northern California to almost no precipitation in the Mojave Desert in Southern California.
The California Water Virtual Tour is a compilation of 15 Stops (presentations) explained by a series of Tourguides (Experts) describing the physical, legal and water management issues of the California Water Landscape. Each Stop provide a virtual tour using materials such as maps and/or videos built on google earth©.
Themes
Overiview of Water in California
Water Law
Water Economics
Groundwater
Hydropower
Current Drought (2013 - 2014)
Hydrologic Regions
Sierra Nevada Rivers (Tuolumne)
Sacramento Valley
San Joaquin and Tulare Basins
The Delta
San Francisco - Bay Area
Southern California
Colorado River
Lake Tahoe
Klamath River
Materials
Objective
Originally, these tours were oriented to provide fundamental knowledge to new hires (Academic and Faculty) at the University of California. Fortunately, the tours were so well explained by the tourguides, that they can be used for a broad audience, such as: students, water resources practitioners, and the community in general.
Background
These materials were recorded during a 2 day workshop on February 22-23, 2014, at the new ANR Offices. The tourguides gave a presentation on the topics mentioned. In addition, this workshop helped to develop networking among the participants, mostly from ANR.
Organizers
Samuel Sandoval Solis, Asst. Professor and Cooperative Extension Specialist in the Dept. of Land Air Water Resources at UC Davis
Helen E. Dahlke, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Land Air Water Resources at UC Davis
Jay Lund, Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis
Stuart Pettygrove, Cooperative Extension Specialist Emeritus in the Dept. of Land Air Water Resources at UC Davis
Doug Parker, Director, California Institute for Water Resources and Strategic Initiative Leader for the Water Initiative
Collaborators
