California’s water systems are failing communities

“California saw a brief relief from arid conditions in December and into the new year as heavy rainstorms hit the coast and snow buried much of the Sierra. But the majority of the state is still gripped by drought. According to the US Drought Monitor, over 80 percent of the state is experiencing severe drought, and that is hitting communities hard across the state, contributing to severe wildfires, limiting agricultural output, and leaving many people in dire need of drinking water. This past summer, local drought emergencies were declared across the state, including in Santa Clara County, south of the San Francisco Bay, which declared an emergency in July. There, some residents have seen their water bills skyrocket. Others have seen their taps run dry. … ”  Read more from Earth Island Journal here: California’s water systems are failing communities

Sen. Dodd introduces remote water monitoring bill

“With global warming triggering longer and more frequent droughts, making California’s water supply more precious than ever, Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, announced today he has introduced legislation authorizing the remote sensing of water diversions, creating more accurate measurement of available resources and encouraging the most efficient use of water possible.  “Climate change means Californians must continue to remain vigilant about our water use,” Sen. Dodd said. “This bill takes a big step in that direction by helping us more accurately track where this vital resource is going and empowering us to chart a more sustainable water future. It’s a commonsense measure that will help ensure we have water for generations to come.” … ”  Read more from Senator Dodd’s website here: Sen. Dodd introduces remote water monitoring bill

Petition against Sites Reservoir reaches 50,000 signatures after a deadly year for winter-run salmon

Dan Bacher writes, ” Just before the California Department of Fish and Wildlife released a New Year’s Eve letter revealing that only 2.6 percent of juvenile Chinook salmon had survived lethally warm water conditions on the Sacramento River,  a petition sponsored by Save California Salmon in opposition to the Sites Reservoir reached 50,000 signatures.  This milestone also came just a week after the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Sites Project Authority announced an extension of the public comment period on the proposed 13,200-acre Sites Reservoir project from Jan. 11 to Jan. 28, 2022.  Sites Reservoir is opposed by California Tribal representatives, environmental justice groups, conservation organizations and fishing groups because the big threat that they say it poses to the imperiled salmon and other fish species and ecosystems of the Trinity and Klamath rivers, the Sacramento River, the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary and to Tribal rights and culture. … ”  Read more from Dan Bacher at the Daily Kos here: Petition against Sites Reservoir reaches 50,000 signatures after a deadly year for winter-run salmon

Can cloud seeding squeeze more rain out of storms? How much?

“Despite a rush of rain and snow heading into 2022, 85% of California remains in severely dry conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.  That’s why water agencies in Southern California and beyond are trying to squeeze a bit more water out of the storms that come this winter using a method called cloud seeding.  It’s a weather modification technique that uses silver iodide to bond cloud droplets together to form ice crystals, which grow into snowflakes and fall as either snow or rain, depending on the elevation.  Cloud seeding has been around for decades, but has grown in popularity in recent years as studies prove its relative success. A 2020 study published by the National Academy of Sciences found that under the right conditions (meaning the temperature is low and the winds are moving toward watersheds), cloud seeding can squeeze 3-5% more rain out of clouds. ... ”  Read more from KCRW here: Can cloud seeding squeeze more rain out of storms?

Hyatt Powerplant at Oroville back online, but more rain and snow needed to keep it that way

“Five months after being taken offline due to historically low water levels on Lake Oroville, the Hyatt Powerplant is now up and running again.  On Aug. 5, 2021, the water level in Oroville dropped to 642 feet, sinking the old record of 645 feet from back in 1977. This was the first time the powerplant had to be shut down since its construction in 1967.   Since then, the water level has come up about 80 feet, allowing the Department of Water Resources to start operating through the powerplant again.  “Not only are we able to make our normal releases, but then we also have the power generation, which is a positive byproduct of us making these releases,” said Mark Hafer, the Oroville Field Division Manager for DWR.  … ”  Read more from KCRA Channel 3 here: Hyatt Powerplant at Oroville back online, but more rain and snow needed to keep it that way

Is a state program to foster sustainable farming leaving out small-scale growers and farmers of color?

“Offered through the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation, the Healthy Soils Program is among a suite of programs that provide incentives for sustainable farming practices, and the HSP is the first state-led project to offer financial awards to adopt soil health as a way to reduce greenhouse gases and increase carbon sinks. Jeanne Merrill, policy director for the California Climate and Agriculture Network, calls it, “groundbreaking.”  But Cardoza has since become disillusioned with the program, also known by its acronym, HSP.  “It’s modeled after large-scale, monoculture agriculture,” said Cardoza. He added that the program is “massively disadvantageous” to small-scale farmers with diversified operations, as well as to those who can’t speak English fluently, while big, well-resourced operations can easily take advantage of it. … ”  Read more from Inside Climate News here: Is a state program to foster sustainable farming leaving out small-scale growers and farmers of color?

Column: Republicans have next to no power in California. But they do sometimes have good ideas

Columnist George Skelton writes, “Republicans have no power in the state Capitol. But they sometimes have good ideas. Democrats even steal them. … When Republicans propose spending large amounts to increase California’s water supply during a drought, the natural public reaction ordinarily would be “duh.”  But the GOP is proposing a major switch from the traditional “user pay” concept to “everyone pays.”  Major water projects have always been financed by the people who use the water — farmers, homeowners, industrialists — through monthly bills. The one exception is for so-called public benefits, such as fish protection and recreation. Everybody pays for that.  Now, Republicans are proposing that the state general fund pony up with money collected from all taxpayers from Crescent City to Calexico. … ”  Continue reading at the LA Times here: Column: Republicans have next to no power in California.

Thousands in the Sierra still without power after storms mangled equipment

“Tens of thousands of people in the Sierra were still without power Tuesday, more than a week after heavy snow smothered the mountains, knocking down power lines, poles and transformers.  The record snowfall — the most in December in 50 years — was wet and heavy in many places, causing Pacific Gas and Electric Co. equipment to fail and leaving many residents without electricity to power their lights, furnaces and refrigerators.  In Nevada County alone, the damage was overwhelming: 307 power poles snapped or toppled, 580 places where the conductor or the line needs repairs, 171 broken crossarms and 70 transformers knocked out of service, according to Megan McFarland, a spokesperson for the utility company. … ”  Read more from MSN here: Thousands in the Sierra still without power after storms mangled equipment

Managing for fish and wildlife during a dry year in the Sacramento valley – what did we learn in 2021?

“As 2021 was shaping into the most challenging water year in recent history—with the driest and hottest conditions anyone could remember–water resources managers in the Sacramento Valley developed a “roadmap” in May, outlining plans to maximize habitat for fish in wildlife with the minimal water resources that were available.  At that time, water managers in every part of the Valley knew they were going to see substantial reductions in their water supplies and they were developing and implementing drought plans to manage the limited supplies available.  Now, we have an opportunity to look back at this challenging year and evaluate the actions that were taken to determine the value they provided to fish and wildlife in the region and what we can learn for future dry years. … ”  Read more from the Northern California Water Association here: Managing for fish and wildlife during a dry year in the Sacramento valley – what did we learn in 2021?

Napa City Council passes water management plan update and water shortage plan

“Despite the 2021 drought, which resulted in mid-year restrictions on outdoor irrigation and trucked water, the city of Napa is projecting it will likely meet water demands through 2045 with only minor restrictions in the case of dry years or multiple dry years.  That is, of course, unless the city faces historically unprecedented dry conditions, in which case greater restrictions could be put in place to limit the demand on the city’s water resources. That’s according to the city’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, a long-term evaluation of the city’s water supply and demand through 2045, approved by the Napa City Council late last month. … ”  Read more from the Napa Register here: Napa City Council passes water management plan update and water shortage plan

Marin commentary: County water officials stopped expanding capacity as population grew

“It feels ironic, doesn’t it?  Last year, we fretted over the drought and the possibility of running out of water. Now, millions, if not billions of gallons of fresh rainwater cascade down our city streets on the way to the salty Pacific Ocean.  It’s remarkable that we can fly a helicopter on Mars, but we can’t figure out a way to capture storm runoff for future use. During each rain I watch torrents of water racing down my street, lost forever. With 900 miles of existing water pipes under our roads, why can’t we harness more storm water by constructing catch basins and pumping this fresh water back into our reservoirs?  Of course, now that we have plenty of rain, the concern for future droughts is flushed down the proverbial toilet. This wasn’t always the case. … ”  Read more from the Marin Independent Journal here: County water officials stopped expanding capacity as population grew

Ecology center explores benefits of beavers in feasibility study

“A group of West Marin land managers and conservationists is exploring the reintroduction of beavers to buffer the impacts of drought, increase biodiversity and improve salmon habitat. A steering committee spearheaded by the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center and made up of representatives of the Marin Resource Conservation District, Marin Water, the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network and the Environmental Action Committee hopes to simulate a beaver dam this summer with funding from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The ecology center received a grant for a feasibility assessment in 2019, and the group is now summarizing its research in advance of sending its report to Fish and Wildlife.  … ”  Continue reading at the Point Reyes Light here: Ecology center explores benefits of beavers in feasibility study

Uvas Reservoir about to overflow as wet season begins

“The Uvas Reservoir in Morgan Hill is the fullest it has been in three years, pointing to a positive trend in the county’s water situation after a long dry period.  As of Jan. 4, the reservoir was 96% full, and was a few inches away from pouring over its emergency spillway, according to Herman Garcia of Gilroy-based Coastal Habitat Education and Environmental Restoration, who frequently monitors the reservoir.  Authorities said there was no flood risk associated with Uvas Reservoir surpassing its capacity. Valley Water spokesperson Matt Keller said the district is working with local agencies to monitor any hot spots, such as the bridge into the Thousand Trails RV Park and the Miller Avenue crossing in Gilroy, for any impacts. … ”  Read more from the Gilroy Dispatch here: Uvas Reservoir about to overflow as wet season begins

Half Moon Bay: Concerns aren’t eroding as city dives in to study sea level rise

“The city of Half Moon Bay is examining the impact of sea level rise and erosion on its southern coastline, which could harm the most significant contributor to the city’s economy.  According to ongoing studies from San Mateo County and its environmental consulting firm Integral Consulting, parts of the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, the Golf Links and Ocean Colony neighborhood are at risk of erosion and flooding as a result of sea level rise. On Dec. 21, the City Council voted to pay $25,000 to move into the second phase of the city’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Fiscal Impact Assessment, which will determine how to deal with coastal hazards, identify strategies like seawalls, sand retention, and sand dunes, and provide public outreach.

These four metrics are used to track drought, and they paint a bleak picture for the Southwest

“Drought has tightened its grip on the Western U.S., as dry conditions tick on into their second decade and strain a river that supplies 40 million people. Experts agree that things are bad and getting worse. But how exactly do you measure a drought, and how can you tell which direction it’s going?  Brad Udall is an expert on the subject, studying water and climate at Colorado State University’s Colorado Water Center. His latest forecasts for the 246,00-square-mile Colorado River Basin haven’t been uplifting.  “You cannot look at these and not be concerned,” he said. “The climate models tell us this is going to get worse. There’s every reason to believe it’s going to get worse. It’s gotten worse since 2000. The spooky thing is that it seems to be getting worse at a faster rate.” … ”  Read more from Cronkite News here: These four metrics are used to track drought, and they paint a bleak picture for the Southwest

Dust is a growing problem. What role does farmland play?

“As hurricane force, record-breaking winds blew through eastern Colorado in mid-December, the skies took on an eerie sepia glow. Visibility dropped to almost zero as a massive dust storm roiled through the Great Plains states, impacting 100 million people. Two weeks later, high winds and severe drought led to the devastating Marshall wildfire in urban northern Colorado.  Dust storms aren’t unusual in these areas, but they typically occur in the spring and at a smaller scale. And yet, as a two-decade drought persists in the West, scientists are concerned that they could become even more prevalent.
