Farmers, cities negotiate Calif. water swap  

Competing farm, city districts try to strike water deal

Coalition viewpoint...This exchange helps reduce the potential of Westlands farmers from losing a share of next year's water supply that could flow to the ocean instead of farms.  It provides Metropolitan with water they can use now and possibly reduce the likelihood of more severe shortages next year.  This is an excellent example of the water user community working together to bring some flexibility back into the system that has been hobbled by questionable environmental restrictions in recent years.
