A news release distributed yesterday by UC ANR News & Info Outreach was within hours picked up by the Central Valley Business Times. The story outlines the impact on UC research of the Westlands Water District's announcement last week that it will not have water to deliver to its constituents during the 2009 water year. The UC West Side Research and Extension Center relies on Westlands water to irrigate research projects.
West Side REC director Bob Hutmacher said, because of the anticipated water shortage, the research program for the 2009 water year must be reassessed by the center's Research Advisory Committee.

Secret water diversion can be ruthless and barbaric. In Fresno / central valley, it began 50 yrs ago by a group of city employees and developers - by hand. Block-by-block, parcel-by-parcel. So keep in mind that although the methods may not have been what one would expect, they were good enough to finally get the job done. Upon finally being caught, Fresno Mayor prohibited reports.
