Water Forces Clash Over San Luis Project Plan
In Washington state and California interests clash over whether the federal or state government should build the San Luis project in the San Joaquin valley. Gov Goodwin and J Knight tell committees a $229 million federal plan could be integrated into a state project for later water delivery to Southern California.
