Water Resources State Must Spend to Develop Its Water
William L. Ser, assistant engineer for the State Division of Water Resources, says California must spend to develop its water resources. Berry, speaking for the Agricultural Teachers Association convention at Cal Poly, notes no choice but to cooperate among federal, state, local agencies and private interests. Transporting water to Southern California is simple in idea but hard to achieve due to the Tehachapi barrier. Studies on three routes will be ready by July. Possible aids include artificial rainmaking and cheap power for desalination. Immediate projects like the Feather River are needed, but balance remains elusive.
