It\'s amazing to think that Yolo County\'s water rights started in the 1920\'s with one woman and her walnut orchards that needed water.[/quote] According to the state website, Yolo County secured water rights from the State of California for Clear Lake back in 1912. There are many stories of how Yolo County secured the water rights, instead of Lake County, but I would speculate it all boiled down to Yolo County having the revenue to build the current Cache Creek Dam back then. Lake County had very little revenue during the early 1900s. - DerBingel Fri, 08 Aug 2008 22:51:57 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5205/919/#comment-6896 Wouldn\'t it be great if we could figure the evaporation rate of the Lake into the Yolo transfer equation so that instead of the current policy that they can withdraw down to 3.22, the new policy would be that they can\'t take anything that [i]with the evaporation rate [/i]can bring it down to below 3.22. In other words, the lake is now below the level Yolo is allowed to transfer. If that evaporation rate had been figured in, they would have had to stop earlier. - epasarah Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:21:55 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5205/919/#comment-6895 Are you kidding? It appears that agricultural interests have spawned many detrimental actions. - epasarah Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:15:48 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5205/919/#comment-6885 Glad it was helpful! :D - elarson Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:16:45 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5205/919/#comment-6882 I agree, great article!

Your efforts are so appreciated, that I\'ve printed it as a historical report for my files. As we say in the USN: \"Bravo Zulu\", Well Done Charley Stephanski - Cltinman Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:01:16 +0100
