"the last generation has dropped the objective of abundance as the principal objective of water and power policy and has instead moved now to rationing shortages."
"What is the justification for that?"
"We are no longer looking at cost-benefit analysis of which projects make economic sense and which do not."
"My concern is that there is such a huge amount of water coming in."

"That comes to a mind-numbing figure of 2.1 million gallons per resident per year."
"It seems to me that goes far beyond anything contemplated in the Winters decision."
"The more abundant the water supply, the cheaper it will be."
"The estimated cost for our facility would basically be capital costs, about $7,000 an acre-foot."
"$7,000, I think that amount seems astronomical."
"When something is scarce, it becomes expensive. When it is plentiful, it is cheap."
