In the next ten years, effective management of our water resources will be one of the most critical components of sustaining and developing our communities.  As Chairman of the Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power, I am continuing my work to maintain and enhance a reliable water supply in California and our nation.  We can no longer rely solely on the Colorado River for our water needs, therefore California must continue to examine water recycling, desalination, and conservation methods as a viable way to efficiently manage our already diminishing water supplies.   

The Federal Reauthorization of the California-Federal Bay Delta Program (CALFED) will also play a critical role in developing new water yield and adequate storage.  Later this year, I will introduce legislation that will Reauthorize the Federal participation in CALFED as well as address western-wide water security issues.  Unless this bill is passed into law, California will be facing a water crisis that will rival the energy crisis of 2000.
