California Backing Could Falter Over Colorado Project
Washington (UP) Rep. Claire Engle warned that California may lose support for reclamation schemes as some groups oppose the Upper Colorado Storage Project. He spoke at a House Interior Subcommittee hearing on a Palo Verde Irrigation District funding bill. Opponents, including the Colorado River Board of California, called the Upper Colorado plan costly and a risk to Southern California’s water. Engle disputed the claim, saying California’s stance could weaken upper basin cooperation.
