How can anyone keep up with all the new regulations from the California Water Board? Subscribe to the email lists affecting you (links below).
It’s impossible to keep up with everything, so we have to pick and choose. But the pace of Water Board regulations is already jet-speed and headed toward hypersonic. It’s wise for everyone who diverts surface water to subscribe to relevant email lists and then at least scan the ones that look important. The link for all Water Board Subscriptions is:

The link for statewide issues is below. I think I counted 174 possible email lists, but you can probably pick the 10 that affect you the most and keep up pretty well by reading these:

Of course, AllWaterRights.com, this blog, will highlight the most important issues for surface water diversion measurement, water rights, laws, and regulations. Come back often and you’ll see one or two new posts each week. 🙂
As a bonus for those of you who read this post, here are a couple of Death Valley photos my wife and I took last weekend. This year there is a super bloom! Last year was very wet, 
and while we were there were good showers in several parts of the valley.
There is also stunningly beautiful geology, with colors ranging from white to black, and in between amazing hues of green, red, blue, orange, yellow, purple…. It’s the first time we had ever been there in daylight and we want to go back. If it is raining in Death Valley, that bodes well for all of California this year.
Good night all, and enjoy the rain and snow!
