"The effort, known simply as CalFed, is a state-federal attempt to bring together competing agricultural, urban and environmental interests to ensure an adequate water supply for the state's growing population while restoring the delta, California's major watershed... The bill would authorize funds for six years to pay for water storage, conservation, flood control, recycling, desalination and other projects."
