13.06.2015
Drought-stricken California has ordered the largest cuts on record to farmers holding some of the state’s strongest water rights.
State water officials on Friday announced the decision to tell more than a hundred senior rights holders in California’s Sacramento, San Joaquin and delta watersheds to stop pumping from those waterways.
The move marked the first time that the state has forced large numbers of holders of senior-water rights holders to curtail water use. The move shows California is sparing fewer and fewer users in the push to cut back on water using during the state’s four-year drought.
