Schwarzenegger Names Point Person On Water Issues

 Environment & The Green Beat
FRESNO (CBS 5 / AP) ― California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has appointed a new state coordinator on issues relating to the water shortages.

The appointment of Lester Snow on Monday comes a day after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar named his chief deputy, David Hayes, as the federal point person coordinating federal action on the state's water problems.

Salazar said Hayes will work to hurry the permit process on projects that could expedite the flow of water through state and federal canals south of the troubled Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Schwarzenegger said Snow, of the Department of Water Resources, will coordinate work on long- and short-term fixes on the state government side.
Job losses on farms and in the fishing industry are spurring officials to act.
