OPEN STUDIO Artists welcome art lovers with free tours By Ellen Knickmeyer and Scott Smith The Associated Press FRESNO A new conservation master plan for California's dry future for the first time would set custom water budgets for cit- ies based on their climates and other local conditions, but some faulted the proposal Thursday for not ordering more water-savings by farms.
