Westlands Water District's board of directors, following more than an hour of debate over the tunnels' costs, voted 7-1 against participating in the project, known officially as California WaterFix.

Westlands is the first water agency to take a vote on the project, and other big districts are expected to make their decisions in the coming weeks. But Westlands' rejection is a huge blow to Brown's plan; the sprawling agricultural district would have been responsible for well more than $3 billion of the project's costs. ... See MoreSee Less

What's the point of this study, who paid for it, and what did it cost? How did these water "savings" compare to the amount of fresh water that went to sea in 2017?

Does it take into account all the water cut off from Farmers and their need to drill wells? What about the millions of homes on well water. What about the push back as consumers begin to over use in an effort to say screw you to the newer higher costs of water?

Propaganda.
