Colorado Water
San Diego Union Tribune: "When Bennett Raley was named the Bush administration's top water official, environmentalists who battled him for years feared the worst from the cowboy-turned-lawyer. Three years later, many environmentalists say Raley has been a surprise. He helped wrangle rival water agencies into signing a landmark Colorado River accord last year. And environmentalists cheered when ideas they had been urging for years turned up in a program aimed at helping cities face looming water shortages. The 47-year-old Coloradan has shown an ability to get along with people on all sides of an issue. It's a trait he'll need as Western states race to cope with one of the most severe droughts in modern times."
