Newhall Left Out to Dry?
Decision to halt massive Newhall Ranch project due to water shortage represents a crucial policy shift.
A judge's unususal decision in late May to halt the Newhall Ranch development near Santa Clarita represents a crucial policy shift in evaluating and planning large subdivisions.

Others suggest that the decision highlights the importance of environmental planning and the relationship between land use and water. The decision comes amid a recent panel report suggesting an impending drought in California.
