Shortage Of Water? Last weekend's heavy storm may help to relieve what still promisesto be a water-short summer, according to Delbert Hedges, watermaster of the Nevada Irrigation District. Hedges estimates the storm may add 2,000 acre feet of water to Scotts Flat reservoir, bringing the storage there to 21,000 acre feet. The reservoirhas a capacity of 27, 700 feet. It isthe key to much of western Nevada County's water supply. It is possible, Hedges indicated, that the NID may be able tonegotiate with the PG&E for additional water to be brought down to Scotts Flat from Lake Spaulding. However, such negotiations are tentative and their success would depend on many factors, among them the fact that although the snowpack at higher elevations increased as a result of the storm, the water content of the snow was low. Hedges emphasized that "there will still have to be conservation” down the line thissummer, He added that unless additional water can be obtained from the PG&E the 20% reduction in water delivery contemplated "can't be revised very much, " The NID directors are scheduled to consider the water situation at their meeting Friday. tions by the cities of Grass c.
