From the Las Vegas Review Journal (Henry Brean):
In a speech on Friday in Las Vegas , Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he will travel to Mexico on Sunday to discuss the international water agreement and other issues. “We have high hopes. We’ll know more within a very few short days,” he said. The details have not been finalized, but the concept is for Mexico to store some of its Colorado River allocation in Lake Mead for use in future years, temporarily lifting the water level in the drought-stricken reservoir. Right now, Mexico can’t take its full share of water from the river because of a 7.2 magnitude quake that struck Mexicali on April 4, damaging canals and reservoirs that supply the vast agricultural area just south of the California border…
Salazar said the expected agreement with Mexico would benefit the U.S. by keeping additional water in storage “so we can help address lake levels at Lake Mead.”
What’s the transit loss down there?
