Southern California's Imperial Irrigation District supplies water to farmers who grow most of the nation’s winter vegetables
Southern California's Imperial Irrigation District, which supplies water to farmers who grow most of the nation's winter vegetables, planned to start a conservation program in April to scale back what it draws from the critical Colorado River. But a tiny, tough fish got in the way.
Now the district, the biggest user of Colorado River water with more than 3,000 miles of canals and drains, is in talks with state and federal officials on how it can proceed while setting up a monitoring program to ensure the fish isn’t further threatened, Asbury said. The curious fish -- the males turn blue during breeding season while females are tan or olive -- was once plentiful.
