California congressman appointed to Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee
California Congressman John Garamendi is being appointed by his congressional colleagues to the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee, a responsibility he doesn’t take lightly. Garamendi will now oversee matters related to water resources development, conservation, infrastructure and hazardous waste cleanup. He says water conservation is “critical,” and wants storage and recycling of the state’s water supply to be key elements for his new policies.
