Westlands, Friant push for change in water management
Some of the Central Valley’s largest water organizations are pushing for specific rule that will lead to lower water supplies to be changed this year. Westlands Water District, the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, the Friant Water Authority and the State Water Contractors sent a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) asking them to revise how they manage a rule that impacts pumping in the Sacramento Delta. … The water groups are targeting the Fall X2 provision for the 2024 water year, which is detailed in the biological opinions that govern the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.
