In this time when fresh water the world over is being taxed, when rivers are being altered by dams, pavement, aqueducts, and irrigation systems, a crisis of water rights looms on the horizon right in our own backyard. A private corporation, Alaska Water Exports, is seeking the rights to export water from the Albion and Gualala Rivers in Mendocino County.

The California Coastal Commission gave North Coast a holiday gift on Friday, December 13, authorizing letters protesting proposals by Alaskan water mogul Ric Davidge to take water from the Gualala and Albion Rivers for delivery to San Diego via tug-hauled water bags. Following the vote, Davidge wrote to the Water Board withdrawing his applications.
"Friday the thirteenth is our lucky day," said Ursula Jones of Friends of the Gualala River. The public and agency comment period for the projects was opened by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Water Rights on Friday, September 13.
