WHAT GLOBAL WARMING?
Global warming? What global warming? Scientists and environmentalists have been grappling with the issue for some time now, but lately winemakers are growing more and more concerned.
Global warming, however, is just a part of a whole host of weather problems. Wineries in Australia were hit earlier this year by droughts, which inadvertently turned into a blessing due to oversupply. However, wine areas in the U.S. are taking measures to make sure that never happens.
According to the Press Democrat, the Sonoma County Water Agency is proposing a $375 million Agricultural Reuse Project. The project would oversee the construction of 19 reservoirs and 112 miles of pipeline to provide treated wastewater to agriculture in the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. Pipelines would generally be buried along or under pavement on existing roadways
The water reuse project is part of the Water Agency’s effort to gain approval from state regulators to use more water from Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino.
