More political b******t. Until we get some way of valuing the water it is never going to be allocated properly. EDF made this point back in 1994 during the last drought.

South of the delta growers are currently at a 5% allocation. You and I both know you can't trust that the feds and Ken Salazar. We have seen nothing from them to make us trust them. The fact that we may receive 30% someday after planting season's over is of no comfort. That is in no way "water reliability"!!! The banks won't lend on smoke and mirrors from the feds. The way I see it, the ESA is costing us at least 85% reduction in our allotment at this current time. What is fair and sensible about that. I would agree with you if they came right out and said that we are going to be at 30-45% allocation. After all Shasta is at a least 101% of average right now.
