My big expense is the water.

I've been trying to figure out this water challenge since 1992.

First off, he talks acre-feet and I talk barrels. It took about a year before we got used to one another, and there were a couple of times we walked away from each other.

Increased water demands and lack of rainfall are causing the reservoir level to decline faster than we normally see at this point of the dry season.

It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to get it going. We just bring a few chairs, some water and a few balls.

The water quality parameters that we are monitoring right now are dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity, ammonia and depth.
