California Water Library Launches

WATCH: Byron-Bethany Irrigation District produced a video highlighting the features of the California Water Library, a new initiative from Chris Austin, founder of Maven’s Notebook – one of the most widely-read water industry blogs. BBID previously made a donation to help the new site launch.

“The California Water Library provides easy, organized access to information about California water, including industry reports, journal articles, scientific research, legal rulings, maps, images, and more so that scientists, policy makers, and managers working in the California’s water industry can access the information needed to make informed decisions about the state’s most precious natural resource,” Austin said. “The California Water Library fills an unmet need within the California water community by consolidating a broad set of content in one, easy-to-use website.”
