Too much special interest and too much greed IMO.

One positive thing some of our Land Trusts are doing (related to fire management, not water supply) is creating firebreaks by cleaning out sections or forests and employing goats and sheep to clear shrubs and grasses. These actions have helped give firefighters an upper hand and saved a lot of acreage in past fires. Unfortunately, this can't be accomplished on private land.

As far as water management goes, I advocate creating more storage capacity, some desalination in coastal cities, paying farmers NOT to grow water-intensive crops, and as much conservation as possible (plus whatever else the water geniuses can dream up).
