All Maine’s water resources highly regulated
Kennebec Journal
9) includes several sweeping generalizations concerning the regulation of groundwater withdrawals that are incorrect. The column states that groundwater “does not have the protections that our surface water resources do” and that if we strengthen our laws “water can be a sustainable resource” implying that current regulations are inadequate and do not safeguard sustainability. In reality Maine’s water resources are highly regulated with the goals of maintaining their quality for public health and maintaining their ecosystems values. Every large-volume groundwater withdrawal that is not for public water or irrigation must receive a permit either under Maine’s Site Location Law the Bulk Water Transport Law or the Significant Well rules of the Natural Resources Protection Act. All large-volume wells under the jurisdiction of the Land Use Regulation Commission must be permitted. Public water systems are carefully scrutinized through a different process.

As our population grows we face a choice of either becoming more water efficient and making the water we have go further or having to commit to expensive solutions such as a new reservoir to meet our increasing demand with additional costs on our bills. There are easy steps households can take to become more water efficient. ver a quarter of our carbon emissions from our homes come from water use and so not only do we need to save the supplies we have but being more water efficient will help cut our contribution to climate change in the future. The Mayor will be working with key partners such as the Environment Agency and Thames Water to address these challenges. Proposals in the draft water strategy include:The Mayor believes that we should waste less water the water companies should fix the leaky pipes and work with the Mayor to help Londoners to become more water efficient through a London wide homes energy efficiency programme set to launch next year The Mayor supports the building of the Thames Tideway tunnel under the Thames and the river Lee to greatly reduce discharges of sewage into the river and improve the quality of the water in the River Thames. The Mayor will work with Thames Water and other partners to identify ways to use sewage to provide renewable energy and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

pinion: The South Bay needs the Delta peripheral canal
San Jose Mercury News
The governor is asking for a $10 billion bond act to build more dams. But the real problem one that dams cannot solve is the way water moves through the delta from the dams on the Sacramento River to water-users in the South Bay. The delta the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers is degrading our water supply and it is dangerously unreliable. The Legislature is properly focused on this issue not marginally usable new dams. The Peripheral Canal would divert water from the Sacramento River near Sacramento and move it to state and federal water pumps in the Southern delta near Tracy. These pumps supply the Santa Clara Valley with about half our water. Today water from the Sacramento River flows through the delta to the pumps.

?I don?t know that there?s very many people in the world who want to kiss love hug lick touch and talk to sandstone? says 89-year-old Katie Lee as she sums up the loss she felt when the 170-mile Glen Canyon in Arizona was dammed in 1965. The Colorado River backed up creating one of the largest reservoirs in the United States Lake Powell etching about 2000 miles of shoreline as it flooded the main canyon and nearly 200 side canyons. The purpose of the dam was to help meet the water supply of growing Western cities from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Lee a former Hollywood actress who moved to Arizona and later became the winner of the Glen Canyon Institute?s David Brower Award for outstanding environmental activism would emotionally refer to the event as a ?drowning. ?The construction of Glen Canyon Dam near Page Ariz. was a controversial project from its inception in 1956.

And while the governor remains a man of few words for the media his actions in recent days have been speaking pretty loudly in terms of his engagement with water supply issues. f course the governor’s hand was forced by a recent federal court ruling under which metropolitan Atlanta engine of the state’s economic growth could find itself without appreciable water from Lake Lanier the water supply for much of the metro area. n July 17 Judge Paul Magnuson ruled that the metro area is not authorized to withdraw water from Lake Lanier because supplying water is not among the purposes established for the lake a U.

The ruling came in connection with a long-standing legal battle among the states of Georgia Alabama and Florida with regard to use of the Chattahoochee River which was impounded to create Lake Lanier. If the three states can’t come to some agreement in three years Magnuson’s ruling calls for water withdrawals from Lanier to be cut back to 1970s levels.

S. Idaho judge to decide on water curtailment
Ag Weekly
Clear Springs Foods contends pumping from the aquifer has reduced surface water flows taking away from its senior water rights. Idaho law distributes water rights on a first-come first-served basis and Clear Springs Foods has older water rights than the groundwater pumpers. The Idaho Department of Water Resources agreed with Clear Springs Foods and imposed a water curtailment on groundwater pumpers that affects more than 4000 acres and about 150 junior groundwater rights in four counties. Melanson denied a request for the temporary stay from groundwater pumpers earlier this month in part because such a ruling could cause irreparable harm to Clear Springs Foods. But he also scheduled Friday’s hearing to listen to arguments on a permanent stay. At the hearing Melanson asked what kind of damage was being caused by the lack of water to the two sides. Idaho Deputy Attorney General Phil Rassier representing the Department of Water Resources said most of the groundwater pumpers are complying with the curtailment order.

Concise vision needed for water
Arizona Republic
I’ve recently added a graphic of a water glass that might either be half-full or half-empty. Contributing to the impression it is half-full are the many positive aspects to our water-management framework in Arizona particularly our groundwater management in the Active Management Areas. Notable achievements half-filling the glass include our assured and adequate water-supply program our water-recharge and -banking programs and our reliance on local groups to consider drought and watershed-based water supply-and-quality matters. I am concerned however about our lack of a comprehensive vision a deficiency that reflects both lack of a mandate for a statewide water plan and the limited resources to support coordinated water-planning efforts. Not only is the state’s Colorado River water allotment almost fully allocated but the infrastructure required to deliver water that might be secured could be very costly. Predictions that the Southwest will become drier and warmer have raised many questions particularly about Colorado River flow assumptions.

Why do you have to promote regulations for high-quality public water? The laws and regulations governing the treatment and delivery of public water supplies are very complex and involve numerous scientific and technical issues. For example CWWA has worked on issues involving the oversight of water main installations cross connection prevention streamflow standards water-supply planning and watershed land protection. ur member utility companies have engineers certified operators lab technicians planners and superintendents whose expertise helps educate lawmakers and public officials regarding how a particular bill or regulation will affect water quality infrastructure operations rates or service etc. How is Connecticut’s public water supply doing overall? What are some of the concerns your association has about our public water supply? Do you deal with issues like delivery infrastructure at all? verall Connecticut’s public water supplies are among the best in the country. However we cannot take our water supplies for granted or we could end up in a situation like the Southeast which is still grappling with a severe drought.

“In Western states there’s been an increasing push to see this as a water supply resource” said Noah Garrison an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council who co-authored the report “A Clear Blue Future” released last week. Garrison teamed with UC Santa Barbara and University of Washington researchers to release this analysis of how rainwater capture or infiltration projects could make up for water shortages attributed to altered weather. By 2050 winters cut short by climate change are expected to reduce by one-quarter the snowpack in the Sierra according to the state Department of Water Resources with greater depletion projected in the decades beyond. As these vast fields of high-mountain snow melt during the spring summer and fall they provide a steady source of pristine water to rivers heading to the lowlands which replenish reservoirs supplying tap water used by millions. Stormwater that’s usually dumped into the nearest waterway could fill a critical gap in this predicted shortfall the new report states.

The City could provide 2000 acre feet of water to Nevada Copper–for a fee of course–and the gamble would be the mine’s while the City could inherit any infrastructure built at the site and hooked to the municipal water system. Plus Yerington would still have significant water resources left over to comfortably accommodate residential growth for years to come. It is perceived that the copper mine would drill two or three of its own wells in an aquifer different from the one supplying farms. After all Mason Valley is deemed by the State Engineer a “closed” basin for additional drilling so it would require water from a separate aquifer to make it work. All infrastructure to be constructed to deliver water from the wells to areas of use would be the responsibility of Nevada Copper. Any of that infrastructure would become the City’s property when the mine leaves.

The Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant the centerpiece of the long-running cleanup of Boston Harbor removes solids and other impurities from the waste water from 43 cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts. “Changes are coming to the ocean system’’ said Charles “Stormy’’ Mayo senior scientist at the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. He is concerned about how the waste water could interact with the food supply for endangered right whales. “How the ocean interacts with things we are putting in it like effluent must be understood’’ he said. “To do that we need ongoing sampling. ’’Even with the proposed cuts the authority would continue to measure the bacteria levels salinity and chlorine content of the waste water that comes out of the treatment facility. But Hornbrook hopes to end the broader effort in Massachusetts Bay and parts of Cape Cod Bay to measure water quality oxygen content on the seafloor and toxin levels in fish and shellfish populations among other ecological benchmarks the authority has monitored from eight years before the Deer Island tunnel became operational until now.

The water agency deals in a second entirely separate fashion with maximum anticipated growth for the county Mancebo said. He said under state law anticipatory projections of growth can figure only in what is called an Urban Water Management Plan a type of document the agency also must produce regularly. A majority of directors ultimately concluded that the water-services assessment was reliable in projecting that the agency’s 30 cfs piping capacity would not be exceeded by a combination of existing demand and developments that as is Gold Rush Ranch are firmly contemplated.

The ‘water war’ isn’t really about water at all
Atlanta Journal Constitution
Georgia?s ongoing battle with neighboring Alabama and to a lesser degree with Florida isn?t really about the appropriate use of shared water resources. It?s about prosperity: We?ve got it they want it and by restricting our water supply they hope to divert some of that prosperity in their direction. Alabama officials in particular seem to be enthralled by that theory which is probably why Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue and Alabama Gov. Bob Riley are at such loggerheads. What Perdue can?t say but probably believes is that Riley?s goal is not to protect Alabama but to harm metro Atlanta.

Rural areas face challenge to find next water source
Arizona Republic
Its cities and towns can pump groundwater freely with almost none of the limits that protect urban aquifers. Renewable surface-water supplies are rare and without the kind of federal subsidies that helped build the Central Arizona Project canal that delivers Colorado River water those supplies can’t reach far. The result for rural parts of the state is an erratic patchwork of wells springs and seasonal streams and lakes – a water supply that fails occasionally because of overuse and carries few promises about its long-term sustainability. “In the meantime we have to look out for ourselves. Flagstaff has scrambled to keep water flowing from the day the first railroad workers tapped ld Town Spring near Mars Hill in the early 1880s. The city now serves its 64000 residents with an ever-changing mix of water from scattered wells springs and a small reservoir.

The program offers cost-share opportunities for new center pivots and sub-surface drip irrigation systems (SDI) over the next five years. To qualify for the cost-sharing program applicants must receive water deliveries for land served from Central?s E67 E65 or Phelps canal systems or the Supply Canal. Marcia Trompke Central?s conservation director listed several ways AWEP funds will benefit water resources including 1) reducing the need for releases of storage water from Lake McConaughy and river diversions for irrigation in Central?s service area; 2) reducing net consumptive crop use by converting pivot corners from irrigated to dryland production; 3) improving soil health and reducing evaporation through use of no-till practices; and 4) reducing agricultural chemical inputs to groundwater by increasing uniformity of water application to the root zone in program acres. Currently 300 pivots deliver water to one third of the acres to which Central delivers water. Central also has three SDI demonstration sites on pivot corners that use canal water. Trompke estimates that an additional 7450 acres can benefit from the AWEP program. AWEP is a voluntary conservation initiative that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to implement agricultural water enhancement activities on agricultural land to conserve surface and ground water and improving water quality.

Whose water is it? Water rights in the age of scarcity.
San Francisco Chronicle
Just because you are first on a river or upstream or own a piece of land with groundwater does not mean that you have no responsibilities to other users including non-human users sharing the same watershed. Your use affects others. We may believe that these water resources are not connected to each other or that the use by one person has no effect on their neighbors or that the first user should have senior rights forever. And in the past this may have worked. But if we continue to use 20th century rules to solve 21st century water problems conflicts over water will only worsen. [For those interested in the history of water conflicts a 5000-year long chronology can be found at.

The plan should include triggers to reduce pumping if monitoring wells show the water table is dropping to unacceptable levels he said. Prescott already has installed monitoring wells.

Idaho water officials enforce curtailment order
Fox12Idaho
The Idaho Department of Water Resources issued a curtailment order on Thursday targeting 250 water right holders in parts of 7 counties across 9000 acres. A group of 8 Idaho Department of Water Resources employees met in Twin Falls on Friday and coordinated efforts for checking on groundwater users and making sure the curtailment order was being enforced. Water officials mostly stayed in their vehicles to avoid trespassing but warned the inspections will likely become more invasive and could result in tough penalties for violators.

ARRA funds Valley water districts
Fresno Business Journal
The $40 million investment in these projects is part of President Barack bama?s $1 billion investment of ARRA funding provided by the Department of the Interior for water projects across the West. In April Secretary in the Interior Ken Salazar announced $260 million in ARRA funding to address California?s current drought conditions and meet the State?s long-term water supply infrastructure needs. The total funding for California water-related activities under the Interior portion of ARRA is $381 million to expand water supplies repair aging water infrastructure and address drought mitigation.

West Bank Suffers Acute Water Shortages
Voice of America
GidonBromberg is the Israeli director of the Friends of the Middle East anenvironmental group that has long been monitoring use of the aquifer. “Withfive consecutive years of drought the Mountain Aquifer has beenterribly over-pumped” said Bromberg. “In fact all water resources inIsrael and shared between Israel and Palestine have been overdrawn. Israel takes the lion’s share of the Mountain Aquifer. Some 80 percentof the waters of the Mountain Aquifer go to Israel and only 20 percentgo to Palestinians in the West Bank. And therefore it’s also a sourceof animosity between the peoples. “Nearing catastropheA World Bank report issuedthis year says the average Israeli gets four times as much water as theaverage Palestinian.

Congress considers legislation for quicker testing of water pollution
Los Angeles Times
In California the additional spending authorized by the bill would be welcome by cities that have cut back on beach monitoring because of the state’s budget troubles said Mark Gold president of Heal the Bay a Santa Monica-based environmental group. John Boozman of Arkansas top Republican on the House subcommittee on water resources and environment said the measure would “help ensure that the public can get timely warnings of potential health hazards associated with a trip to the beach. “Congressional action came as the Natural Resources Defense Council reported that beach closings and advisories last year declined 10%. But that the group said most likely was because of dry conditions and decreased funding for water monitoring. Beach closings and advisories often the result of aging sewage and storm water systems still exceeded 20000 incidents nationwide last year — the fourth highest number since 1990 the group reported. The Clean Coastal Environment and Public Health Act passed Wednesday by the House would require the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a test by 2012 that would allow the public to be alerted to contamination within hours of sampling reducing the risk of exposure to disease-causing pathogens.

Water watch begins
Southern Idaho Business
Water watch beginsUnprecedented well shut-off goes into effect in valleyBy Nate Poppino and Jared HopkinsWENDELL – Employees of Idaho’s state water agency quietly fanned out across the Magic Valley Friday morning to see if nearly 250 water-right holders have complied with an order to stop using some groundwater rights. It was the first time that the Idaho Department of Water Resources actually enforced widespread well closures to provide water to another entity. IDWR Interim Director Gary Spackman ordered the closures last week shortly after the department learned that two groundwater districts had allowed as much as half of 9300 acres of farmland converted to use surface water to revert back to pumping groundwater. State officials said those conversions needed to be maintained to fulfill an agreement with Clear Springs Foods of Buhl whose springs officials ruled have declined due to groundwater pumping. Eight IDWR employees including three from the agency’s Boise office met briefly at the agency’s Twin Falls office before leaving to check on irrigation rights near Jerome Wendell Murtaugh Shoshone and other areas. The call which also affects businesses and cities includes water used for slightly less than 9000 irrigated acres.

Tunnel under delta could be alternative to canal
San Diego Union Tribune
July 31 2009 ‘ — SACRAMENT ? A possible answer to Southern California’s water-delivery woes has emerged right underfoot literally. The state Department of Water Resources is exploring the price and engineering challenges associated with digging a roughly 35-mile tunnel under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to bring more supplies to Southern California. ?We don’t have the costs worked out? said Lester Snow California’s water chief. ?We have to look at the trade-off between the extra costs of tunneling and how it compares to a canal. ? Although still in its early stages the tunnel proposal intrigues water managers frustrated by the inability to secure sufficient supplies ? especially during the state’s prolonged drought ? and worried that they may never overcome fierce resistance to building a new above-ground canal. In 1982 voters rejected a measure to construct the 43-mile Peripheral Canal designed to move water through the delta and toward thirsty cities and farms.
