The settlement agreement is supported by the Raymond Land and Irrigation Company, the only irrigation company and the largest non Indian irrigator in the basin. Is that correct? Correct. Thank you.

And the settlement essentially protects those rights from a priority call by the tribe. In short, all of these water users in the basin would benefit from this settlement, and I am not aware of any opposition to it. (09:30–09:41)
