What could anyone expect LA to "give back" while they are under attack?
Dale B Dalrymple
Interesting perspective, LA under attack because they filed a lawsuit against a small Mammoth water district over 1% of the water they are exporting from the Owens Valley. Then they try to move the hearing to Fresno. The water in question is being used in part to provide fishery flows as ordered by the State after a 10-yr environmental review. Seems MCWD has been granted the right to this water since 1949.

That is not my suggestion. Anyone who suggests LA is only under attack because of town of Mammoth water diversion is pretending to be unaware of 100 years of history. Since you have already cited such attackers in this thread, the only such pretender is you.
As to MCWD and LAWP claims, they disagree, and in the history of the west it is not unusual for conflicting rights to have been granted. The decision will be made, eventually, in some court, not by exaggerating hype on some websites.
As to accepting a fact sheet from Mammoth as a reliable source on legal issues it would be well to consider the success of Mammoth's recent legal activity:
