(One acre-foot is <br />about 326,000 gallons, or the amount an average family uses in a <br />year.) <br />The agreement also is viewed as crucial to solidifying a separate <br />plan to shift water from the lID to the San Diego County water <br />agency, <br />With all of these agreements in place and with progress on the "4.4 <br />Plan," Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona <br />are more likely to support allowing California to use more than its <br />share of water in the near term, Cook said. Such support is critical to <br />MWD's goal to keep its giant Colorado River aqueduct fun to meet the <br />urban needs of the Los Angeles area. <br />Salt Lake Tribune reporter Brent Israelsen contributed to this story. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />rr') Copyri~ht 1999, The Salt Lake Tribune <br /> <br />^1l material fOlmd on Utah Online is COpyriglltoo The Salt Lake Trihllne and associated news services, No <br />malcrialmay be reproduced or reused v.ilhouL explicit permission from 1'he Salt Lake T,wune, <br /> <br />ContaCl The Salt I..,ke Tribune or Utah OnLine bY.$lickiDI! here. <br /> <br />...---. ---, .. <br /> <br />" "^n.. f... . <br /> <br />fU( 100 <br />
