With snowpack at normal, what’s the hold up with Ag water allocation?
The frustration for farmers continues to grow after recent news of recent water allocation numbers. The Bureau of Reclamation has announced a 35 percent federal allocation for Central Valley Project recipients, as the California Department of Water Resources has allocated 30 percent of State Water Project requests. The news comes as the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada sits at or near normal. … Joe Del Bosque of Del Bosque Farms … says he and other farmers were extremely disappointed with the recent numbers. He tells me with the current snowpack, and recent, and potentially incoming storms, the allocation should have been higher.
