California water vetoed in Congress on Arizona plan
California water officials told the House Interior Committee they doubt surplus water exists to export to Arizona and Nevada for the Lower Colorado River Basin Project. Attorney Northcutt Bly and W E Steiner of the California Department of Water Resources questioned whether surplus water could be shipped over mountains and into the Colorado River system. They suggested any potential surplus would be used within California and only on an interim basis to Arizona if available.
