FEDERAL JUDGE EFFECTIVELY SLASHES CALIFORNIA'S WATER SUPPLY

     On Friday, August 31, a federal court Judge in Fresno accepted the argument of environmentalists that the endangered species (the Delta smelt) was being killed off by the huge pumps used by the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project.  The Judge therefore used the federal Endangered Species Act to issue a ruling that, in effect, may at least on a temporary basis require up to a1/3^rd reduction in the amount of water cycled by the pumps.  As quoted in the Contra Costa Times, Association of California Water Agencies’ Executive Director Tim Quinnsaid of the ruling: "These reductions represent the single largest court-ordered redirection of water in state history."             

    

     This ruling is not likely to have an impact for the remainder of this year.  However, next year cities relying on Delta water (including Los Angeles and other cities in Southern California) may have to institute water rationing and/or substantially increase pricing.  If such rationing/higher pricing occurs, both residences and business will be affected.

     The ruling is also likely to affect the amount of irrigation water available to farmers in the State, which in turn will affect the food supply.

     So, we know where our priorities lie-

      

No

                  

Yes

It really dnedpes on how everything is configured. Ideally, you should have a bank of batteries that store energy when it is night or a cloudy day. The bigger the bank, the more cloudy days you can withstand. Water will keep hot for a fairly long time if the water storage unit is insulated well.

Solar power and solar thermal smestys should always be designed with a conventional back-up for those cloudy or rainy days, or those times where your needs exceed the producing capabilities of the system. For a power system, batteries are an option, but the grid is ususally your best back-up. For a thermal system, it is usually a conventional water heater. Keep in mind that solar does its best work when it is supplimenting your home usage rather than replacing it. The short answer to your question is that newer smestys will work much better if it is designed and installed properly.
