BREAKING NEWS: CURTAILMENT
The State Water Resources Control Board, following hours of debate and comment, voted 5-0 to impose an “emergency curtailment” order covering the rivers of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta watershed — essentially the entire Central Valley....
And officials with the water board said conditions have turned extreme on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers as well. Lisa Hong, a staff engineer with the water board, said demand for water in the San Joaquin River watershed is 16 times greater than supply, and three times greater than supply in the Sacramento Valley.
