Editorial: Upper Basin fantasy in river storage plan risks costs
The Senate Interior Committee approved a multi billion Upper Colorado storage project prompting opposition from California. Critics warn the plan jeopardizes lower basin water rights, inflates costs beyond four billion dollars, and benefits only a few states while threatening national water and taxpayer interests. Rep. Hosmer defends a guaranteed minimum for Southern California with reasonable upper basin development. Californias stance emphasizes contract and compact rights amid calls for restraint and fairness in development.
