Utilizing California's Water Supply Efficiently and Effectively; given by Thaddeus L. Bettner, Deputy General Manager - Resources, Westlands Water District. Westlands Water District consists of an area in western Fresno and Kings counties made up of 600,000 acres of farmland. This agricultural hub produces much of the state and nation's tomatoes, cotton, sugar beets, and asparagus. Water used to sustain this historically arid soil comes from the 20 dams and reservoirs of the Central Valley Project (CVP). This water, however, is not easily obtained as pro-agriculture organizations (such as Westlands), environmentalists, fisherman and anglers, and other groups vie for the same water. Bettner discusses Westlands Water District and the agricultural use of water within the CVP export area.
