year of a severe drought we operate as i mentioned it brings water through the delta down from northern californiasouthern california, the combination of the drought and environmental degradation of the largest estuary on the coast of the americas and adel tough has led to the crashing of native species, sam, native species and under the endangered species act we have to protect the species. we are turning down the pumps. the combination of the drought in effect of the species has limited water supplies through the system from an normal delivery of 5.7 million acres to this year 3.6 million acres of water. leading to a great political implications as unemployment in the valley has spiked and concerns have risen about whether our department is favoring fish over farmers. we are seeing some of the conflict between water supply and environment. believe me up close and personal that i think are spreading across the globe. likewise, even on systems like the missouri river we've had operational issues associated with the decline of certain native species and in the northwest where the department operate

electricity out of california in the south, run it around the grid and sell it back in to the northern california and make huge profits for doing nothing. is electricity comes at the speed of light. the same electricity was leaving california and coming back in. what was the problem? the problem was that in the design, folks who are doing the designing of the legislation were concerned about getting something that would pass and make everybody happy. if they only listen to the industry insiders. they never took the steps or took the trouble of putting themselves in a position of people who are going to try to game the system and take advantage of it. so one of the things that we talk about uses the need to do that. because the result if you don't do it, look at california. massive blackouts. billions of dollars in cost. huge spikes in prices. businesses fleeing the state. led to the recall of governor reed davis. this phenomenon is one of the things we call the need for design for execution. >> california electricity design and a survey that we have done pointed to a really important problem. i l

the california water -- california valley project which brings 1/3 of the water supply from northern californiaa and serves the coastal south and 20 million americans that live in los angeles through san diego. we are deeply involved as a water provider. we're also deeply involved in the environmental consequences of water use. and seeing that interface between the use of water and the environment. let me give you a few examples. among other things we are a bit of a federation. not only are we a major water supplier, but we also have environmental stewardship responsibilities. when there is not enough water for the environment because we are supplying it or helping to supply it, we have to bear the implications for that. where in california in the third year of a severe drought, we operate the system that brings water through the bay delta to california to southern california. the combination of the drought and environmental degradation on the west coast of the americas and the bay delta has led to the crashing of native species, salmon, native, fish species, and under the endangerrered species

california, other than taking a bus to los angeles, from los angeles to bake ersfield. anyway, pretty good service but no service for rural towns like the lady said from northern indiana.guest: i think you raise a couple interesting points. the one is service to small communities. there are a lot of communities across the country that have lost bus service. train service and airline service as well. i think the opportunity we've seen in much of rural america is not only for the bus but it's again working with the local transit systems where a local transit system might be able to offer that connection to a main bus line or a main route. and the other point that was raised, the connecting bus and amtrak. that gezz to the intermodele issue, that allow them to connect and feed off and to one another. it works well in california and other places across the country. guest: couldn't have said it better myself. to put bus on high lanes. we're taking 55 people off the car, 55 less cars in traffic every time a bus goes by and the fact that we're more environmentally efficient. zoo how often do you find those lanes? guest: we're beginning to see them more, more lanes being added
