| (THE IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT HAS A DRAFT FINAL PLAN FOR THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER)…THE REPORT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR IN THE MAKING, AND IT OUTLINES THE BEST WAYS TO DISTRIBUTE WATER IN IMPERIAL COUNTY IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER. THE REPORT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY DOCTOR MICHAEL HANNEMAN FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY AND BENNET BROOKS, WITH CONCUR, INCORPORATED. THE RPORT BASICALLY RECOMMENDS THAT WATER BE APPORTIONED FIELD CROPS BASED ON WATER USE HISTORY AND SOIL TYPE. IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE, THE DISTRIBUTION FOR COMMUNITIES WOULD BE BASED ON POPULATION. THE DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE DRAFT REPORT BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT. |
