Feds bump up supplies for Friant water users
Months after crying foul over a diversion of water resources, it appears that water agencies reliant on Friant Dam will see a boost in water supplies, Federal water officials announced on Friday. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation raised allocation to Class 1 contractors within the Friant Division of the Central Valley Project from 15 to 20 percent. Class 2 Friant contractors have not received an allocation for two straight years. The trend, Federal officials announced, will continue for the time being.
