Tehama, Glenn, Colusa and Yolo counties, the canal authority is on contract
with the reclamation bureau to receive 320,000 acre-feet of water. An

<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In recent years, the
bureau cut deliveries to the canal authority while still sending CVP water
down the Sacramento River to agricultural land in the lower sections of the

percent of its allotment.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>
