Can you share some perspective on that? the water issue as it affects a community like Yuma and an agricultural economy like Yuma.

For us here in Yuma, this area was settled by farmers that really tried to expand agriculture.

There were native tribes here.

We have two in the Yuma community that were doing some farming and have some old water right as well.

And then we have all of the deeded land that's across Yuma County that has agricultural water rights.

Some of it is surface water, called diverted Colorado River water.

Some of it is groundwater.

I'm just curious if you have any thoughts on that.
