SACRAMENTO, California (AP)-a judge State appeals on Monday strongly defended the landmark agreement on how Southern California get its water, casting aside the argument that the Treaty should be deleted because the State basically write a blank check to save the dying Lakes.
Justice Ronald Robie noted that the agreement addressed a long dispute defied easy answers.
"It is a question of finding the right solution to a problem that has been around for a long time, and which require ingenuity," it said in a hearing.
A Panel of three judges of the district is considering whether to appeal 3 will reverse the Pact that created the nation's largest farm-to-city water transfers and establishes new rules for dividing the State of the Colorado River. Farmers and environmental challenge the Pact, while California water agencies is vital to maintain said peace was uneasy about the River.
If a lower court ruling stands, the consequences can ripple to the six other Western States and Mexico, which also relies on the 1,450-mile that flow from the Rocky Mountains to the sea of Cortez. The agreement remains in effect while the case is under appeal.
