Water in Europe — they use a lot for agriculture as well, maybe because it’s subsidized too.
Shantytowns and Growth — better policies, not fences, will work.
BEST: Read This Paper on Demand Management! Again. Then reflect on The Value of Water — we don’t know it, and there are ways to find it, but we don’t use them. If we did, we’d know How to Live on Less — people in SoCal use 110 gallons/day/person. They can use less, but is there any reason to? Water Budgets may give them a reason, but they are neither equitable nor efficient.
BEST: Latinos Marching for Capitalists — an early post on Westlands’ astroturfing. Remember that water flows protect land values; jobs are optional.
Poll Results — Walking the Walk — an interesting poll of how people respond to environmental problems. In Costa Rica, A Working Carbon Tax makes things easier.
What Good Are Economists? I’ll tell you. But only if you understand why The Black Swan gives us good advice on risk and uncertainty.
BEST: Give Rob Davis a Pulitzer for reporting on San Diego’s lazy (incompetent?) water managers. Perhaps they — like San Francisco — hired Dangerous Consultants to get expensive advice of little value.
