Editorial: How the deal to stop draining Mono Lake can help settle California's future water wars (via latimesopinion)
began drying up Owens Lake in 1913, but L.A. needed even more water and looked northward. A tunnel completed in 1941 began diverting stream water that once flowed into Mono Lake, lowering the surface level by 45 feet and creating a land bridge for coyotes and other predators to an island and its bird nesting grounds.
There are several important takeaways from last week’s agreement, in addition to proof that L.A. can be a force for good in the environment. Another takeaway is that the state water board can effectively act in the public interest, if it’s given a sufficient measure of independence to do its work.
