irrigation canal operator is suing the federal government, saying it's violating
the law by sending water south without first fully supplying agriculture here.

<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">"Those were the promises
when the Central Valley Project and Shasta Dam were first contemplated," said
Jeff Sutton, general manager of the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority. "Now, in a
time of scarcity, those promises have not been
honored."<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The canal authority filed
suit earlier this month against the Bureau of Reclamation, claiming it is

<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Supplying 150,000 acres in
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 acre-foot is
enough water to flood one acre of land a foot deep.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>

<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 project,
Sutton said. In 2008, he said, the bureau gave the canal authority 40 percent of
its allotment.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>
