25 November 2000 - 6:00am
Department of the Interior released a plan which addresses the use of water from the Trinity River,a small river in northern California that supplies as much as a seventhof the Central Valley Project's water.
Environmentalists and local Indian tribes have long argued that more ofthe water should stay in the river, but Central Valley farmers haveargued that the water is necessary for growing crops.
