Monterey Desal Project: State Water Board Hears Spirited Debate over pumping rights
From the Monterey Herald:
State water board members received an earful Tuesday of the fierce debate over California American Water’s potential right to pump from the overdrafted Salinas Valley groundwater basin for the Monterey Peninsula water project.
During a special meeting at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, the State Water Resources Control Board heard from Salinas Valley growers, their allies and Peninsula interests as part of a public workshop on the water board staff’s draft review of the sticky water rights issue.
