Water
rationing in Del
Mar? How could
that be? It could
happen by July
1st if not sooner
due to the worsening
dry-weather conditions
throughout the
Sierras and the
entire state of
California.

 Remember
the time when
most of us had
never heard of
Witch Creek?
Almost a year and
a half ago,
a small fire ignited
in that dry
creek. Fanned by
voracious Santa
Ana winds, it
grew into
a major firestorm
and within 24
hours spread
almost 50 miles
west. Its
flying embers,
caught by dry vegetation,
combustible
roofs, fences
and anything
else in
its path, ignited
and destroyed hundreds
of homes and
was finally
contained as
the winds subsided
only 5 miles
from Del Mar’s
border. more>>

Saltwater
meets sweet water
in our San Dieguito
Lagoon and forms
a very rich brew
for all kinds
of plant and animal
life. Fresh
water flowing
down the San Dieguito
River watershed
mixes with tidal
flows from the
ocean to form
a salt marsh in
the lagoon.
