The limited water resource in California has Mountain Counties concerned about the prospect and process by which the State Water Board may look to curtail most or all Pre-1914 and Riparian water rights in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Watershed.

MCWRA supports the State Water Board’s public involvement and appreciates the opportunity to provide comments as this curtailment process moves forward.  However, there is still work to be done and expectations to be met prior to support of actions on pre-1914 or riparian water rights in the Delta watershed, said John Kingsbury, Executive Director, MCWRA.  “We appreciate the State Water Board’s efforts to implement a fair and equitable process and have encouraged and requested discussions with their staff as soon as possible.  We do stand ready to assist in this process”, said Kingsbury.
