are divisive. Decades ago, water disputes were settled at the end of a gun, and
even today policymakers use terms like "water wars." But what are we
fighting over? So many of these battles are simply a natural result of
dwindling supplies in the face of increasing needs. Environmentalists want
water to restore habitats and protect endangered species. Builders want water
to sustain development and growth. Farmers want water to grow their crops.
Average Californians want water for their homes and watering their lawns. But
what makes no sense is the fact that we are fighting over a completely

Enough water falls from the sky and drains into the ocean that if we managed it
in an efficient manner, as has yet to be accomplished by CALFED,
environmentalists, builders, farmers -- everybody who wants water -- could have
an ample amount for their preferred purposes. Failure to come up with an
effective management plan could leave us fighting over no more than a glass of

over the next 25 years by as much as 4 million acre-feet -- enough water to
supply 8 million households. To put it another way, every new home would need
seven swimming pools full of water to meet its annual demand. Unfortunately,
the state has not been capturing rainfall or melting snowpack -- the most

expanding groundwater supplies in any significant way. A plan to build only
surface water facilities or only groundwater is needlessly inefficient. There
must be a mechanism to get the water into the ground -- spreading water on the
surface, injecting it through wells, or "in lieu" recharge -- and to
draw the water out of the ground for use. There are myriad other issues to be
resolved, such as ensuring water quality, which requires careful consideration
of levels of salt, bromides and organic carbon. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

shipping channel called the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet by slicing through
the natural ridge that separated <st1:city u2:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">New
Orleans</st1:city></st1:City> from the <st1:place u2:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Gulf
of Mexico</st1:place></st1:place>. Known locally as "Mr. Go," the
channel allowed millions of gallons of saltwater to flow into the area's
freshwater bayous and lakes, which in turn killed the wetlands that had
protected the area from storms. This little-used shipping channel thus allowed
storm surge from Hurricane Katrina to slam into the coast at full force and put
unprecedented strain on manmade levees, several of which failed, inundating
many of <st1:city u2:st="on"><st1:place u2:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

vulnerable neighborhoods. In hindsight, we can see that poor decisions by
Congress and the Army Corps of Engineers, such as building Mr. Go, result from
federal policies that undervalue natural ecosystems, sacrifice science to
politics, shortchange maintenance in favor of new construction and refuse to
prioritize in favor of projects that benefit broad swaths of society versus
those that benefit a few privileged developers looking to build in the

Federal flood control and navigation projects have damaged rivers throughout
the <st1:place u2:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Central Valley</st1:place></st1:place>

eliminating riparian habitat. Widely supported reforms to set back levees and
open up floodways, which also have water storage and environmental benefits,

spotty and, although a football field's worth of protective wetlands disappears

system that spends the Corps' budget where it is most needed. This system
should be backed up by an independent and robust peer review of the Corps'
scientific and engineering analysis on major projects and integrated with
rewritten criteria for flood-control projects that stop encouraging development
in flood-prone areas. The Corps should also be required to mitigate
environmental harm it causes in the same way that private citizens must do so.
