This program looks at the north-south rivalry for water in California, and the Burns-Porter Act, also known as the State Water Project. Gianelli believes that the project may be in trouble for reasons related to changes from the original concept. Kennedy notes that the largest amount of water being developed by the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project is to serve irrigation needs in the Central Valley rather than urban use in southern California. He questions whether control of the north coastal watersheds should be turned over to the federal government. Harnett discusses what his agency is doing to deal with the current drought. He believes it is prudent to plan for another dry year, and notes that the basic premise that only surplus water from the north shall be exported must be revisited in light of the drought.
