SACRAMENTO » The Bureau of Reclamation today re- leased the final report on the Central Valley Project Inte- grated Resource Plan. Reclamation investigated climate change impacts on water supplies and demands in the CVP service area and performed an exploratory analysis of potential adap - tation strategies to address these impacts. The Plan was authorized by the CALFED Bay Delta Authorization Act (P.L. 108- 361) which directs Recla - mation to develop CVP Di- vision-specific water needs assessments and work with partners to develop inte- grated resource plans. The plan also continues and expands on the long- range planning activities of the CVP Yield Feasibil - ity Investigation. It does this by providing an initial assessment of the potential impacts of future uncertainties in climate and socioeconomic condi - tions on the CVP Service Area and each of the nine major CV P Div isions — Trinity River, Shasta, Sac - ramento River, American River, Delta, Western San Joaquin, Friant, San Felipe, and East Side Divisions. The Plan provides infor- mation for other Reclama- tion studies, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basin Study, the CALFED surface storage investiga - tions, the Bay Delta Conser- vation Plan and the Califor- nia Department of Water Resources' California Wa- ter Plan Update 2013. Reclamation employed a scenario-based planning ap- proach by combining three potential socioeconomic and six climate projections to form 18 scenarios. These cha racter ize a wide range of future un - certainties. Potential ad- aptation strategies iden- tified in the plan include increased water conserva- tion, storage, conveyance and others. These strategies were evaluated and compared in an exploratory manner to evaluate their potential ef - fectiveness under a range of future conditions and to iden- tify trade-offs among the ad- aptation strategies.

TO dO Spring workshops planned at herbarium Lessons on soils, pollinator gardens and drawing planned Just when I think I've heard every possible way to save time and money, I open my mail only to find new and clever ideas I'd never thought of. No doubt about it, I have the smart - est readers in the world. Dim search I learned this tip by ac- cident, and it has saved me a bundle. If your kids are constantly in and out of the refrigerator eating the food faster than you can replenish it, remove the light bulb. If they are really hungry, they will take the time to search, otherwise it won't be worth the bother. -- Leslie M., Massachusetts Dry erase board Instead a small, white dry-erase marker board, we purchased an 8-foot sheet of white tub panel - ing. It works just the same and it's HUGE! The best part: It cost only $15. We did not frame ours, but you could. -- Debbie P., Mississippi Cheaper than Starbucks One of our favorite haunts is a local college coffee shop. We can buy good coffee and lattes for about a third of the cost of other coffee shops. The food on many campuses is good and very reasonable, and you do not have to be alumni or a stu - dent to patronize. -- Mary Beth D., Washington Quick bank I got into the habit of saving my one-dollar bills like some people save pennies. At the end of the day, I re - move them from my other bills and stash them away. It's not uncommon for me to accumulate $2,000 in a year,. -- Rob J., California Silver cleaner To clean your silver without harsh commer- cial chemical products, use the miracle powder in your pantry: baking soda. I used it on my silver can - dleholders when I was in a pinch and it worked won- ders. Make a thick paste of baking soda and wa- ter, and massage in gen- tly with an old toothbrush. Rinse under warm water, or if the piece is too big, wipe off with a wet cloth and buff to a shine with a clean cotton towel. I will never go back to $10 clean - ers now that I've found the 50-cent solution. -- Angela H., California Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.
