The Layperson's Guide to Water Conservation is a 20-page overview explaining why water conservation is essential in California and the West, the impact of climate change and drought on water resources needed for agriculture, the environment and communities (both urban and rural), approaches to water conservation in cities and on farms, how desert Southwest cities are trying to squeeze more use out of a limited (and potentially shrinking) water supply, and what homeowners can do to use water more efficiently.

24-page guide that provides an overview of California water - history, major projects, the Delta, groundwater, environmental issues and stretching the supply for the future.

The 28-page Layperson's Guide to Water Rights Law, recognized as the most thorough explanation of California water rights law available to non-lawyers, traces the authority for water flowing in a stream or reservoir, from a faucet or into an irrigation ditch through the complex web of California water rights. It includes historical information on the development of water rights law, sections on surface water rights and groundwater rights, a description of the different agencies involve in water rights, and a section on the issues not only shaped by water rights decisions but that are also driving changes in water rights. Includes chronology of landmark cases and legislation and an extensive glossary.
