Bond Terms Trading But it is unclear whether that will be acceptable to the six other states that depend on the Colorado River or to the Department of Interior, which controls annual allocations.

Bond Debt High In Inside The desire of the Imperial directors to change the terms of the sale is not surprising. The deal confronting the board is significantly different than what was envisioned when negotiations began seven years ago.

Bond Greenville Greenville In fact, things that the farmers were expressly promised would not be part of the deal are now major elements in the proposed 75-year pact with the San Diego County Water Authority.

Trading Stock And Bonds San Diego, nearly bereft of native ground water, is desperate to sign a long-term deal with Imperial as a way to liberate itself from near-total dependence on the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Under the deal, Imperial would sell up to 200,000 acre-feet of water a year to San Diego, enough for 1.6 million people.

Bond Investing Municipal The farmers had been promised that the water to be sold would come through the installation of conservation devices in their fields, not through letting fields go fallow.

Basis Bond Finance Hill Although economists disagree, it is widely believed in the Imperial Valley that fallowing will undermine the region's agricultural economy, leading to increased unemployment, business bankruptcies, and loss of tax revenue for local governments and schools.

Bond Explained Terms Trading In the beginning, even the hint of fallowing was a deal-breaker.

Bond Business Investing Stock But it now calls for immediate fallowing for at least 15 years.

Bond Houston Houston The Salton Sea was not an issue when negotiations began. Now the sea is possibly the issue, with Imperial concerned about getting soaked for hundreds of millions of dollars in restoration projects.

Bond Corporate Investing The deal, when proposed in 1995, was to be strictly voluntary.

Investment Bond Uk Now the Bush administration, in an announcement made Friday, has warned that unless the deal is struck, it will take away about 7% of the district's annual allotment from the Colorado River.

Bond Trading Strategy The deal was to involve only the sale of water, not the sale of the rights to that water. But Friday's announcement would reduce not just the allotment for 2003 but the district's rights for the future.

Bond Fixed In Income Investing This is not the first time that the federal government has threatened to reduce Imperial Valley's right to take water from the river.

Bond Dayton Dayton Investment In the 1980s, the government tried to restrict use of water from reclamation districts to farmers of 160 acres or less. The Imperial Irrigation District fought to the U.S. Supreme Court and won.

Bond Management Market Risk In the Imperial Valley, water rights are not just business conditions, although they undergird a $1-billion-a-year agricultural industry. They are also considered a birthright.

Bond In Investing Municipal Many of the farmers involved in the current dispute -- some willing to sell water, some not -- are the descendants of pioneers who settled the desolate valley and were taking water from the Colorado River long before coastal Southern California had formed the Metropolitan Water District to tap into the river.

Bond Investment Las Las North Some of those pioneers were refugees from the Owens Valley who fled when the valley's water was acquired through fair means and foul by Los Angeles. Fear of losing their water rights runs deep in the Imperial Valley.

Whether such changes would withstand scrutiny in Washington and six Western statehouses is unknown.

Bond Gainesville Gainesville Assistant Interior Secretary Bennett Raley, who announced the threatened cuts, said California and the Imperial district have to accept that this is a new day for Western water issues.

Bond David David Guide Guide The other six states, Raley said, will no longer permit California and Imperial to use lavish amounts of water. Also, the 1930s-era formula that gives Imperial and two smaller agricultural districts 75% of California's share of the river is an anachronism, Raley said.

Bond Investment Pensacola Refusal to accept those facts, Raley warned, will force the government to reduce water shipments to the Imperial district and to the MWD, which serves 17 million people in six counties.

Bond Introduction Trading "This is a California choice," he said. "It's time to deal with reality."

Bond In Investing Involved But Raley's reality is not the reality of many farmers. The talk here this weekend has been of ways to fight what some see as an illegal "water grab," possibly with a lawsuit defending the valley's water rights.

Bond Columbia Columbia "If Bennett Raley thinks he's tough and can threaten the Imperial Valley, let him try," said John Pierre Menvielle, a third-generation Imperial farmer. "We'll take him on. We may be backed up against the wall, but we're not going to give in."

Becoming Bond Building By The deadline for signing the San Diego deal was set two years ago during a convention in Las Vegas of officials from the seven states that depend on, and fight over, the Colorado River.

Failure to meet the deadline would mean an immediate suspension of surplus water shipments for California.
