<br />The compromise should dear the way for San Diego to secure a large
<br />new source of water that could sustain the region's growth through the
<br />early part of the next century.

<br />
<br />Final details of the complex agreement must still be drafted by attorneys
<br />and ratified by negotiators and their boards of directors. Those involved
<br />remained tight-lipped and cautious, given a history of near n-isses in the
<br />rancorous talks.

<br />But state and federal officials announced the agreement as a/ait
<br />
<br />l'
<br />accompJz.
<br />
<br />"This is the keystone agreement that Southern California needs to help
<br />secure its water future," said Da"id Hayes, a deputy secretary at the
<br />Depanment cfthe Interior and the lead federal negotiator.
<br />
<br />But there was no immediate indication of what effect the agreement
<br />might have on water rates in Sa.Tl Diego and throughout Southern
<br />CaEforrja.
<br />
<br />If approved, tee accord would allew Imperial Valley farmers to ship up
<br />to 200,000 acre.feet of water a year to the San Diego County Water
<br />Authority sometime after 2001.
<br />
<br />The deal promises to er..d a dispute dating back to the early 19305 over
<br />how much water severa! agencies, including the ma."J1IDoth Metropolitan
<br />\Vater DiStri;:t, are entitled to draw from the Colorado River.
