On Nov. 4, the Legislature passed the most important water reform legislation in a quarter century. California has never been more in need of this historic change of direction. The solutions in this package can best be evaluated in the context of the serious water-related challenges facing the state.

Legislative supporters and some environmental groups hail the controversial package of delta water policy bills and budget- busting $11 billion bond as "ambitious water reform" and a "huge winner for the environment." Other environmental groups and those who opposed the complex water policy legislation challenge the reforms as being too weak to be effective and say that the bills are rife with environmental loopholes and pork-barrel funding.
