 The San Joaquin Valley is a place where water supply is a principle
issue whereas climate change is global.  Nowhere else is the discussion
of   sustainability of irrigated agriculture water supply more relevant
than in the San Joaquin Valley.  Here in the San Joaquin Valley, climate
is crucial for the growing of countless crops that make our Valley a
flourishing fruit bowl.  In light of current data that supports climate
change, worldwide attention is being focused on ways to curve back the
steady increase of the world's temperature.  The issues of climate
change and water supply echo throughout the world with alarming notice.
