One pitfall for the federal government to rebuild the city is that spending that huge amount of money might not make sense if the residents do not want to stay. This would imply that the new city would become obsolete despite the billions spent to rebuild. To avert this risk, the government will need to assess whether the people want to stay and whether New Orleans needs a big city (Glaeser, 2005).

Yet, humans have limited control on natural events, so this only reinforces the importance of managing water wisely. Recently California’s government has begun to focus more on sustaining and restoring the water supply. Dale Kasler (2016) articulates in his article some of the steps they have decided to make to solve this serious issue. The government has made the following investments: “$415 million for watershed restoration and other environmental aid for Lake Tahoe; up to $335 million for two proposed reservoirs in California, including the Sites reservoir north of Sacramento; $880 million for flood-control projects on the American and Sacramento rivers in Sacramento; and $780 million for flood-control projects in West Sacramento” (para. 10). This could be the first step to restoring the water to California. But these

Envision yourself, about to complete a straightforward, everyday thing such as washing the dishes, suddenly to your surprise there is no water coming out of the faucet. Well for the civilians of East Porterville this is their reality. California has always had very lenient and ineffective groundwater regulations. Today, this has become a major issue, especially with California's severe drought. The regulation of the aquifer is a necessity because cleanliness is a basic human right and by not regulating the groundwater and leaving civilians with no working water, that right is taken away. The right to bathe, wash your hands, and have a working toilet is simply no more. Furthermore there are scientific statements, proving that excessively pumping groundwater will lower the water levels, which will likely lead to the land level sinking as well.

What do you think would happen if your town ran out of water? In the town of East Porterville they have not had water in 5 months. Life is really bad for them. They can not do basic stuff that involves using water. I do think that California should control phreatic water.

The city of Fresno has a new water infrastructure program which brings opportunity to transport mountain water down here, so that our groundwater supply can rest, recharge, and be restored. Furthermore, the City of Fresno Water Conservation Program has been encouraging activities that lower water demand in the community to help Fresno meet the many challenges of water supply management. Another measure is that the State Water Resources Control Board has issued a new statewide water conservation policy that executes a minimum level of restrictions and stronger fines. Fresno has also moved to the Stage 2 water shortage contingency plan approved by City Council which regulates water use; it declares to limit summer outdoor irrigation to two days per week, to not water every Monday, Thursday, or Friday during summer, to limit winter outdoor irrigation to one day per week, and not to water every Monday to Friday during winter (as cited in City of Fresno Website,

An Average of 1.6 trillion gallons of water are extracted from the Delta for the Central Valley Project and State Water Project on an annual basis (Holyoke). With so much demand, the Delta’s ecological balance has been deeply affected. Furthermore, water supplies and local uses are considered to be in crisis due to crashing number of fish species and old weak levees (Lund, et al.) It is feared that during a strong regional earthquake, many of the levees would fail. Due to the increasing demand on water supplies, conservation efforts, and hundreds of interests, the Delta is also the jugular of California’s water

The first option would be to purchase an Imperial Berkey Water Filter. The cost of the system ranges from $310.00 to $510.00, but the less expensive version suits the needs of City Hall perfectly. The system includes two carbon filters and produces up to 5.5 gallons

Although my position on SO50 differs from Jennifer's in which I've stated there are several issues greater than the lack of water, which ABSOLUTELY is a concern to many Folsom residents. The obvious issues are the mass conflict of interests involving our council members and Chamber of Commerce, the complete violation of Measure W and the removal of the inclusionary housing component force this whole rezone issue North of 50. (If you don’t think people are pissed about that, your blind) Folsom has preexisting 1914 water rights which represent 3,200 Acre Square Feet which by all measures should be adequate enough to service the EXISTING North of 50 resident commitments. The SO50 DWR's were originally planned and approved with a piped in, dedicated

Families have been without water for months! This needs to stop, we need water regulations. Over the past few years, California has been in a terrible drought, because people are taking way too much ground water. Regulations for groundwater should happen in the State of California.

Redwood Valley County Water District has also obtained water throughout the years from other sources. In the years from 2005 to 2010 surface water was obtained through a contract with Sonoma County Water Agency and in 2015 in order to meet domestic water demands groundwater from well 6, located near Millview County Water District, was obtained. Through their own water right, up to 4,900 AF/y of surface water maybe diverted from Lake Mendocino from November 1 to April 30 when the flow at the confluence of the East Fork and West Fork of the Russian River is above 150 cfs and the storage in Lake Mendocino is greater than 72,000 AF (Agency). Essentially, Redwood Valley County Water District has a relatively un-exercisable water right.

The 15-year, $2 billion contract was granted to Aramark instead. DNC sued the federal government, arguing that it needs to be compensated $51 million, majorly for trademarked the company filled on merchandise and other facilities it operates. The government said that fees are too high but, DNC countered that they been forced to pay $61.5 million when it first took over the contract from the previous concessionaire, mainly for trademarks. The only solution that I could see in this is legal battle is paying of those fees so that Yosemite National Park can keep its name.

The Drought, along with a recent string of powerful Earthquakes, has provided the momentum for about a dozen of local Governments across California, the third largest oil producing state in the country. Over concerns with the environmental effects Fracking has. And as the drought continues the amount of water used is troubling. At the same time, a bill that would declare a statewide moratorium on fracking has been gathering support in the State Senate, a year after a similar effort failed. “Even if we don’t get a moratorium, just the threat of a moratorium discourages investment.” (Onishi 1) So the anti-fracking activists will take this fight, whether it’s a big win. Or a narrow defeat.

If city’s run out of water then what are they going to eat? In source 2 it says “ he says he has been spending about one and a half hours a day hauling water since the well behind his modest rented home went dry six months ago.” said Pete Rodriguez. In source 2 it also says “when it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter's house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower, he says. But it was costing a lot of money in gas.” said Pete Rodriguez. So if we don’t let the state regulate groundwater that is probably something that would happen.

The patient account review and the patient is active with SFL. The insurance effective date start 11/18/2015 to 11/18/2016 so this mean that the patient is active for DOS.The information is on the patient account.
