Water rights case may get a ruling this week

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

A judge is expected to rule this week on the legality of the Quantification Settlement of 2003. More than a dozen legal challenges to the agreement are the subject of a trial that began in Sacramento last month and is expected to last well into next year.

The first phase of the trial deals with the crux of the case, a lawsuit by Imperial Valley farmers who contend that the water districts were not authorized to set up such a deal. They say the water rights should be attached to the land, not held in trust by the irrigation district.

Also at issue is the state's role in mitigating the effects of the transfer on the ailing Salton Sea, a desert lake in Riverside and Imperial counties fed by agricultural runoff. High salinity threatens the survival of fish and migratory birds.

The case returns to court Monday. Click here for the full story.
