From KPBS:

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and a coalition of business, labor, environmental and other leaders say California’s water supply is at the tipping point. The group is urging the state legislature to put a water bond measure on next November’s ballot. KPBS Environmental Reporter Ed Joyce has details.

Sanders says California is in a water crisis and a water bond is vital to fixing the state’s water supply problems.

Sanders: We need to create a diverse and sustainable portfolio of water supply resources that provides stable sources of water throughout the state. This bond does that by providing money to fix the Delta, create storage, clean groundwater and fund regional water supply projects.

Sanders says because San Diego County is at the end of California’s water system, it’s vulnerable to drought and reduced supplies from Northern California. He says the water bond measure proposed by Governor Schwarzenegger and Senator Dianne Feinstein is a good starting point.
