Rosa– On October 30, 2008, a
broad coalition of community organizations
representing conservationists, farmers, ranchers,
fishermen and recreationists announced that
Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Gary Nadler
has ruled in their favor and struck down the
Sonoma County Water Agency’s (SCWA’s)
recently-adopted Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP). Judge Nadler agreed with the
