Scientists use natural predator to control invasive Delta water weed
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:29 amFrom the Mercury News
Scientists with the California Department of Food and Agriculture began releasing a small insect native to South America into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta earlier this month in an effort to control an invasive species of plant that has been choking waterways.
The insect, known as the water hyacinth plant hopper, has a voracious appetite for water hyacinth, an aquatic weed that has been causing serious problems in the Delta.

New UCLA Report Takes on California’s Groundwater Management
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:27 amFrom Legal Planet
It’s still the wild west in California when it comes to groundwater management.
…. Perhaps not surprisingly, the overuse of groundwater in California threatens the reliability of the State’s future water supply. A new report by UCLA School of Law’s Emmett Center on Climate Change and the Environment recommends improvements in groundwater monitoring and regulation to help secure California’s water future.

The future of Suisun Marsh
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:20 amFrom the California Water Blog: Peter Moyle, professor of fish biology, UC Davis
If you have taken Amtrak from Sacramento to the Bay Area, you have seen Suisun Marsh. Going west, as the train pulls out of Suisun City, you are suddenly riding through a huge wetland, with ponds full of waterfowl. If you are lucky, you will see a flight of white pelicans taking off from the water. You are looking at one of the most remarkable natural areas in California. Suisun Marsh is remarkable for a number of reasons….

Warming climate could give exotic grasses edge over natives
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:16 amFrom Webwire
California’s native grasses, already under pressure from invasive exotic grasses, are likely to be pushed aside even more as the climate warms, according to a new analysis from the University of California, Berkeley.
In the study, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Global Change Biology and is now available online, UC Berkeley biologists catalogued the ranges of all 258 native grasses and 177 exotic grasses in the state and estimated how climate change – in particular, increased temperature and decreased rainfall – would change them.

Opinion: For farmers, efficient water use can only go so far
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:14 amFrom the Mercury News
For years, some professors and think-tank environmentalists have preached a one-size-fits-all solution to the water shortages harming California family farmers. They say farmers would have plenty of water if they just used it more efficiently and grew “high-value” crops.
It hasn’t gotten much notice in Northern California, but that theory is being put to the acid test right now in San Diego County, where highly efficient family farmers, growing “high-value” crops, face rapidly rising water rates.

Poll: Californians say no nukes, but maybe oil drilling

Environmental disasters seem to have cooled Californians’ support for nuclear power but not for offshore oil drilling, according to the latest survey by the Public Policy Institute of California.
The poll generally shows Californians remain green-minded, showing substantial support for forcing automakers to improve fuel efficiency; for federal funding for renewable energy sources; and for the goals of the state’s landmark greenhouse-gas emissions law.

Groundwater: Too Big To Fail

Hydropower remains dominant energy source in the West
Posted by: Susan Lauer on July 29, 2011 at 8:02 amFrom High Country News
Long before the political quest for renewable resources, hydropower provided reliable energy to most of the West – and lots of it. But it came at the cost of a massive effort to dam the Colorado, Columbia, Missouri, Snake and almost every other major river in the region.
Dams provide enough energy to power millions of homes and they irrigate huge swaths of land.

Rep. Jerry McNerney’s brief denouncement of the peripheral canal Wednesday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives wasn’t really news.
McNerney was on record opposing the canal as early as 2007, when he told The Record that “we cannot let (then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger) turn (the Delta) into a saltwater estuary.”
But his most recent comments are among his strongest to date.

It is one of the popular traditions on the Sacramento River, but the semi-regular floating parties between Hamilton City and Scotty’s Landing in Butte County have also caused a lot of damage to the area for many years.
However, locals on both sides of the Glenn and Butte counties stretch of the river want that to change.
Saturday’s efforts, which kick off at 3 p.m., will coincide with a regular Float Day and said the main purpose is still just to have fun.

Even in this, the wettest of years, the battle over endangered fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta rages.
The latest dispute centers on a plan by federal officials to increase water releases from Northern California reservoirs that eventually flow into the delta, where they hope to push encroaching salt water back to a point that is about 46 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Four days of hearings began Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Oliver W. Wanger in Fresno, with water users seeking an injunction to stop the water releases.
