Glad you mentioned this issue, Michael. I wanted to mention a couple of recent press articles on CALFED and water "marketing" in case you hadn't seen them. I wrote one for the Berkeley environmental magazine TERRAIN, and a similar, more recent piece appeared in the SF Bay Guardian by Heather Abel. Both are critiques of water marketing and CalFED plans to build more dams and canals to supply the new water market. Abel's piece is available on the Butte Environmental Council web site, <www.bec.org>, and I could send you mine if you're interested.
