I look forward to hearing comments during the public review process." <br /> <br />"Negotiating this agreement so that it meets the needs of our Imperial Valley constituents, <br /> <br />the needs of our partners in San Diego County, and the needs of other agencies and states who <br /> <br />depend on the use of Colorado River water has been a significant challenge," said Cox. "It's <br /> <br />extremely satisfying to see those negotiations come to fruition and to have the opportunity to help <br /> <br />shape the future of Western water policy, while recognizing that lID can't solve all of California's <br /> <br />water shortage problems." <br /> <br />"This agreement with lID promises progress on a number of Western water issues," Frahm <br /> <br />said. "It would help alleviate concerns of other Colorado River basin states by reducing <br /> <br />California's use of Colorado &ver water. It would reduce future Southern California demands on <br /> <br />Northern California water and alleviate pressure on the sensitive Sacramento-San Joaquin River <br /> <br />Delta by providing a Southern California solution to a Southern California water problem. <br /> <br />"It would help free a portion ofMWD's limited supplies to meet the needs of its other <br /> <br />Southern California member agencies. Most importantly to San Diego County, the water transfer <br /> <br />would provide a higher level of water security for our 2.6 million residents and our $85 billion <br /> <br />economy." <br /> <br />### <br /> <br />€O~l <br />
