<br />1 <br />The Nando Times: California group rejects deal to irrigate from Colorado River <br /> <br />MWD chief Ron Gastelum said in a statement that the district could <br />not support it because of "last-minute terms which deviate <br />substantially from aspects of the October agreement" which Imperial <br />tentatively signed. <br /> <br />"In the end IID's demands ask every household in the state to put up <br />about another $30 for its transfer deal with no caps for future costs. <br />The last time an 11th-hour proposal was hastily approved (in <br />California) it created an energy crisis. This will not be the case with <br />water," Gastelum said. <br /> <br />For almost a century, Imperial County has used more than a trillion <br />gallons of Colorado River water a year to turn the desert into rich, <br />green farms that provide much of the country's winter vegetables. The <br />district has balked at giving up water. <br /> <br />But in recent years, pressure has mounted on all sides to share that <br />wealth. To the west, fast-growing San Diego wants to secure more of <br />the river as a long-term water supply for homes and businesses. To <br />the east, six other states want California to cut its overuse of the river <br />so they can take their rightful shares. <br /> <br />rscuss this story in our news forums: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'I..og/n I JS/gnup~ J Post I ~ RtSt I <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Comments are posted to a user forum, which can be accessed by other users.
