Scott Valley Water Rights Under Attack

Siskiyou County is under attack by a new lawsuit that could affect Water Rights of those who legally use water from wells, to irrigate fields in Scott Valley.

The lawsuit claims that Scott River is depleted (see accompanying photo of Scott River taken on June 26, 2010) but it is full of water. And irrigating is in full swing, which is not lowering the Scott's water volume.

The lawsuite is full of lies.

Read the lawsuite and court how many lies you can find and send a comment to the Pie in Politics @ pienpolitics@gmail.com

The lawsuite is demanding permits for ground water pumping. But that water is a legal Water Right, so if a landowner opts to obtain a PERMIT, he or she will be destroying their use of thier Water Right:
