California Water Overhaul Caps Use
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER

Summary:California lawmakers on Wednesday approved a series of bills that would vastly overhaul the state’s troubled water system. The water package is the most comprehensive to emerge from the state since the 1960s, when California last upgraded its system for what was a far smaller population of users. The plan calls for a comprehensive ecosystem restoration in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta — a collection of channels, natural habitats and islands at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers that is a major source of the state’s drinking water.
Response: This article is important because the water supply is a major concern especially since we live in the great lake state. Our lakes are depleating rapidly and we need to protect them.
