Negotiations Move Forward in Congress On Compromise Water Supply Legislation

摘要

Negotiations are making progress in the U.S. Congress on a bill to address water supply problems in California, according to congressional staff. The state's worst drought in decades is providing added motivation for the effort, which comes after years of disputes over competing demands for agricultural water, municipal water and water for fish, including endangered species. "Everyone involved seems to agree that something has to be done," one staffer said. "Everything is pretty positive right now."
