I'm very interested and follow water law and the historical allocation of rights to, in its simplist terms, a moving target. I'm familiar with CFWC as well as the two largest lobbying groups namely Westlands Water Dist. and Paramount Farms (owened by the Resnick family). Your right . It is a very complicated and controversial subject that involves the livelihoods of owners and workers of farms. At bottom is the fact that the fight is over an ever dwindling supply of a natural resource and the biggest coalitions (Westlands, etc) will always prevail-until there is no more water.
I can only assume this is what you were getting at in response to the question of how much our storms were helping the draught.
