Could the limited successes in bringing together disparate water interests in the San Joaquin Valley be a model for a collaborative solution to the water woes facing Monterey County?
Local elected officials on Tuesday listened to an architect of such an effort in the neighboring valley in hopes that the growing loggerheads over securing additional, permanent water sources in Monterey County can be alleviated.
Adams said the forum would gauge the interest to “continue forward with the potential to pursue funding to further explore a framework for a regional solution to the water problems that have been vexing us for years.” The agriculture community there wanted to build more storage while environmentalists insisted growers were using too much water and representatives from disadvantaged communities wanted assurances there would be clean drinking water for everyone in the region.There’s no shortage of angry people in Monterey County.
