It’s not quite Cadillac Desert, but the updated
California Water Map goes a long way toward explaining the state’s
complex network of water projects. The large color map, published
by the Water Education Foundation, shows the location of dams,
reservoirs, aqueducts and wild and scenic rivers around the state.
The nonprofit educational foundation also publishes a Spanish
edition of the map, a Colorado River Water Map, and a series of
layperson’s guides to water conservation in the West. For more

Suite 517, Sacramento, CA 95814, call 916/444-6240 or find their
