This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Joaquin Valley (SJV), comprising eight counties in the southern portion of California's Central Valley, is both some of the richest agricultural land in the United States and a region with many social, environmental and economic tensions. Land use policy in the region led to rapid conversion of agricultural land to suburban development over the past 3 decades. The Governor's Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley is a major initiative tasked with making policy recommendations to improve the economic well-being and quality of life in the San Joaquin Valley. One tool is a set of alternative-futures scenarios, defined by the Land Use, Housing and Agriculture working group, that portray policy scenarios that reflect preferences of major stakeholder communities. As part of the process, we modeled these scenarios using the UPlan urban growth model. Under each scenario, we projected crop land and agricultural revenue losses to develop a better understanding of the potential effects of urban growth on agricultural revenue. We used the distance of new development from existing development as an indicator of costs to provide each new-development scenario with urban services such as roads, sewer, water, and emergency services.

This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and China are the top two energy consumers in the world. As a consequence, they are also the top two emitters of numerous air pollutants which have local, regional, and global impacts. Urbanization has led to serious air pollution problems in U.S. and Chinese cities; although U.S. cities continues to face challenges, the lessons they have learned in managing energy use and air quality are relevant to the Chinese experience. This report summarizes current trends, profiles two U.S. and two Chinese cities, and recommends key actions to enable each country to continue to improve urban air quality.

Download or read book Comparing Futures for the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta written by Jay Lund and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ecosystem in freefall, a shrinking water supply for cities and agriculture, an antiquated network of failure-prone levees—this is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the major hub of California's water system. Written by a team of independent water experts, this analysis of the latest data evaluates proposed solutions to the Delta's myriad problems. Through in-depth economic and ecological analysis, the authors find that the current policy of channeling water exports through the Delta is not sustainable for any interest. Employing a peripheral canal-conveying water around the Delta instead of through it—as part of a larger habitat and water management plan appears to be the best strategy to maintain both a high-quality water supply and at the same time improve conditions for native fish and wildlife. This important assessment includes integrated analysis of long term ecosystem and water management options and demonstrates how issues such as climate change and sustainability will shape the future.
