Water Deal Helped San Diego Face Drought
From U-T San Diego:
“The giant Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has no plans to ration deliveries even as the state braces for a possible third-straight dry year and the vast Colorado River system remains plagued by plummeting flows into a shrinking Lake Mead.
“One reason for this welcome reprieve can be traced back 10 years ago this month when warring water interests across the West signed a historic seven-state agreement to share the Colorado River. That pact also cleared the way for the Imperial Valley to sell supplies to the San Diego County Water Authority.”
