SACRAMENTO, Calif. Amid severe drought conditions, California officials
announced Friday they won't send any water from the state's vast reservoir
system to local agencies beginning this spring, an unprecedented move that
affects drinking water supplies for 25 million people and irrigation for
1 million acres of farmland.The announcement marks the first time in the
54-year history of the State Water Project that such an action has
been taken, but it does not mean that every farm field will
turn to dust and every city tap will run dry.The 29 agencies
that draw from the state's water-delivery system have other sources, although
those also have been hard-hit by the drought.Many farmers in California's
Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country,
also draw water from a separate system of federally run reservoirs and
canals, but that system also will deliver just a fraction of its
normal water allotment this year.The announcement affects water deliveries
planned to begin this spring, and the allotment could increase if weather
patterns change and send more storms into the state.Nevertheless, Friday's
announcement puts an exclamation point on California's water shortage, which
has been building during three years of below-normal rain and snow."This
is the most serious drought we've faced in modern times," said Felicia
Marcus, chairwoman of the State Water Resources Control Board. "We need
to conserve what l
BAGHDAD The United Nations says at least 733 Iraqis have died
during violence in January, excluding casualties from an embattled western
province.The figures issued Saturday by the U.N.'s mission to Iraq show
618 civilians and 115 members of the security forces were killed in
January. But the UNAMI statement left out deaths from ongoing fighting in
Anbar, due to problems in verifying "the status of those killed." The
figures also leave out insurgent deaths.Al-Qaida-linked fighters and their
allies seized control of Fallujah and parts of another Anbar city, Ramadi,
last month after authorities dismantled a protest camp by Sunnis angry at
what they consider second-class treatment by the Shiite-led government.The
government and its tribal allies are besieging the rebel-held areas, with
fighting reported daily.

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ls already have been
stressed, after pumping accelerated during the dry winter in 2008 and 2009."The
challenge is that in last drought we drew down groundwater resources and
never allowed them to recover," said Heather Cooley, water program co-director
for the Pacific Institute, a water policy think tank in Oakland. "We're
seeing long term, ongoing declining groundwater levels, and that's a major
problem."Many towns and cities already have ordered severe cutbacks in water
use.With some rivers reduced to a trickle, fish populations also are being
affected. Eggs in salmon-spawning beds of the American River near Sacramento
were sacrificed after upstream releases from Folsom Dam were severely cut
back.The drought is highlighting the traditional tensions between groups
that claim the state's limited water for their own priorities farmers,
city residents and conservationists.Chuck Bonham, director of the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, urged everyone to come together during
the crisis."This is not about picking between delta smelt and long-fin smelt
and chinook salmon, and it's not about picking between fish and farms
or people and the environment," he said. "It is about really hard
decisions on a real-time basis where we may have to accept some
impact now to avoid much greater impact later."
SEATTLE To some Americans Amanda Knox seems unfairly hounded by a
capricious legal system in Italy that convicted her this week in the
death of a 21-year-old British woman.But in Europe, some see her as
a privileged American who is getting away with murder.As she remains free
in Seattle, the perceptions will likely fuel not only the debate about
who killed Meredith Kercher in 2007 and what role, if any, Knox
played in her death. They will also likely complicate how the U.S.
and Italian governments resolve whether she should be sent to Italy to
face prison.Anne Bremner, a Seattle attorney and Knox supporter, says that
it's been a polarizing case, and will remain that way.After being first
convicted and then acquitted, Knox and her one-time boyfriend were convicted
again Thursday. Knox was sentenced to 28 1/2 years.
