One of California’s largest Colorado River farm water districts is suing the state’s largest municipal water agency, charging that efforts to move farm water to cities are threatening the viability of agriculture in one of the oldest farming valleys on the river.
The Palo Verde Irrigation District, in a suit filed last month in Riverside County Superior Court, is charging the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California with “thinly veiled attempts” to turn agricultural land it owns in the Blythe Valley into “water farms” by placing water consumption limits and fallowing requirements on the land in order that water from the parcels could be moved to use in Southern California’s coastal cities.

Ping!
Dry backs need water to assimilate into the wet back community
Cut the water off...bring California back to reality.
California is mostly a desert.
Frack for gas
Fire boilers with gas to desalinate
Lots of water
LA needs America’s water to feed Mexico’s populace, most of whom now live in the LA basin.
Is there some reason the water and power of the West was created to sustain Mexico’s continuing overpopulation?
In CA, they’re trying to heard everyone into big nasty crowded cities and then pigeon hole everyone into multilevel condos and apartments, or as I call them, “Civilian barracks”. It’s CA master plan.
Oh, and no more cars as they’ll all be forced onto public transportation in CA. No joke.

Kick out all illegal alien invaders (including the so-called “dreamers”...who really are nightmares). They are wasting resources and despoiling the environment of OUR country.
I am of the opinion that one of the most significant things that the US can do for the people and growth of the US, is to create a viable desalination technology. If the technology is low enough cost, it could be used to sustain the coastal cities. In turn, the interior cities and farms could then use the rainfall and river waters to support their water demands.
CA needs to water for vineyards to supply the wine for the leftist elites in CA. Grapes take lots of water. And they need their low wage illegal house servants to serve them their wine.
This water will be too expensive to spend on grapes or avocados. Only the retail home owner will pay for this.
Think again. The super wealthy leftist elite will watch traditional farms go belly up dry before giving up their grip on their precious vineyards.
Better good look at the “water” that is being shipped out of this area in the form of alfalfa to feed milk cows in Saudi Arabia.
The Colorado River water rights from Hoover Dam were never properly divided out even in 1935 when the dam was still being filled. The whole scheme and amounts and money from water and power sales were based on the 1916 yearly measurements. Which was a wet year, actually never repeated.
Sue you - no sue you. All moot when California secedes. Colorado will just shut the valves and charge exorbitant prices to turn them back on.
