Southern California water agencies reached a tentative agreement Wednesday to shift millions of gallons of Colorado River water used by desert farmers to fast- growing urban San Diego.
The plan is a key step in an overall effort to reduce California's over-reliance on the Colorado River.
The state has been under an end-of-the-year federal deadline to create a plan showing how it will cut its use of river water. The government has threatened to cut California's water allotment severely if the state fails to meet the deadline.
Under the agreement, reached after four days of marathon negotiations, farmers in California's Imperial Valley will use about 2 percent less water from the river each year and instead allow the 3 million people living in San Diego to use it.


{I flew over the Colorado river delta one time, in I think like '77 or something. it was shocking to me. this is the delta now, right? not the river. not in Colorado or Arizona, this is in Mexico. it didn't reach the sea. just this weird-looking triangle of reddish dirt and stuff. of course I was in an airplane way up high.

I doubt somehow it's more wet down there than it was. and it's interesting the way the article never mentions Mexico once. as though it's all 'ours'. because it passes through here first.

sort of like time you know? the way stuff passes through here first on its way to the future. and the scumsuckers treat it all pretty much the same.
mine mine mine mine. grrrrr.}
