Drought plan

It rained today and may rain tomorrow. Naturally, that means we must be talking about the drought.

In today's newspaper, Rebecca Kimitch wrote about the state Water Project saying that as of now it can only deliver 15 percent of the water requested by the Metropolitan Water District.

In Sunday's edition, I'll be writing about the effect on our readers. Central Basin Municipal Water District has come up with a draft plan showing how it would allocate water in case MWD decides to implement its rationing plan.

It could be drastic, ranging from a 2 percent cutback at stage one to a 58 percent reduction at stage 10.
And water officials tell me not to get too overconfident it's raining. We had a good deal of rain early a year ago and yet we're still in a drought condition.
