NEWSWed, Feb 10Colorado River water deal overturnedA California judge has overturned a 2003 ruling governing the state's use of its share of Colorado River water. The pact came about to help California wean itself from Colorado River water deliveries by creating a multibillion-dollar transfer of Imperial Valley irrigation water to San Diego and the Coachella Valley. The judge found that the state's funding commitment in the agreement was so vague that it amounted to a blank check and therefore violated California's constitutional limits on state debt. The ruling could skew how Southern California's farms and cities share this scarce resource. |
