Pacifica Tribune/News Briefs/Joan Putz, 9/17/14.  "News from Pacifica/Daly City Democrats,"

Linda Mar State Beach in 10 years,
on a good day, without the monsoons.

"At the Pacifica/Daly City Democrats meeting on August 16, Joshua Cosgrove delivered excellent advice and a thorough summation of the North Coast County Water District's (NCCWD) plan to help us survive the current drought. All of us need to be water conservation ambassadors. Climate change and population growth affect our water usage. It is predicted that temperatures will increase 3-5 degrees in the next 10 years. This means less snowfall. Snow packs will melt earlier. It is expected that 12 million more people will be living in California in the next 30 years. With more people in the state of California, there will be an increase in demand for water. Thus, we must have sustainable policies."  Read more.
