Feinstein Offers Bill on Water Management To Ease Drought in California, Other States

摘要

A bill to provide short-term drought relief in California and long-term improvements in water management around the West was introduced Feb. 10 by Sen. Dianne Feinstein p-Calif.). The legislation, called the California Long-Term Provisions for Water Supply and Short-Term Provisions for Emergency Drought Relief Act (no number yet), would allow for more flexibility in water management, especially to capture surplus rainfall and to pump water when endangered fish aren't near the pumps.
