"An 'adequate and dependable water supply' received a 'most important' or 'somewhat important' designation from 87 percent of the Coalition's water district members and 85 percent from its farmer members."

"Storage was the second leading issue for members with 78 percent of responding water districts saying it was 'most important' or 'somewhat important' while farmer members selected it 72 percent of the time. Protection and operation of the Delta was in the third spot for water districts and farmers opted for water quality issues as number three."
