Water Lawsuit Settled In California Involves Lower Basin’s Biggest User
Two major California water agencies have settled a lawsuit that once threatened to derail a multi-state agreement to protect the Colorado River.
The Imperial Irrigation district is the largest recipient of water from the river. That group reached a deal to store water in Lake Mead and join drought contingency efforts if dry conditions worsen and mandatory cutbacks are issued. Robert Schettler is a spokesman for the district.
