California needs to "facilitate new construction at an unprecedented scale" to solve housing, water and climate issues, a legislative report says.

There’s much to criticize in how California, once a global leader in large-scale water management, has faltered.

President Donald Trump took office at a pivotal moment in a dispute over water rights on the Colorado River. California and other states have competing claims.

LA had planned to take substantially less from the iconic Eastern Sierra lake this winter. The decision is a blow to conservationists who have been trying to restore the lake for decades.

President Trump's wild verbal justifications for his fire-related executive order, calling for a complete overhaul of Delta water delivery to California farms, provides the illusion that problems are being solved when, in fact, they are festering.

This week, when Donald Trump once again became president, he essentially sought to undo a recent agreement between federal and state water managers and reinstate his previous policies.

President-elect Donald Trump faulted California water policies for the devastating wildfires that are burning in Los Angeles County. The fires started because of fierce winds and extremely dry conditions.
