California considers stepping in to manage groundwater basin in farm country_我的网站

一 |     SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California officials on Thursday faulted communities in a stretch of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley for failing to develop a plan to adequately protect groundwater in the often drought-plagued state.The state's water resources board set an April hearing to determine whether the Tulare Lake Subbasin in the heart of California's farm country should be placed on probation. It is the first time the state has made such a move, and the first step in a lengthy process that could end up requiring large farms in the area to report groundwater use and pay fees.California is starting to regulate the pumping of groundwater after years of drought and overpumping left rural residents’ wells dry and led to subsidence, or the sinking of land, in some communities. Both issues have affected the largely agricultural region, which is home to 145,000 people, and stand to worsen absent revisions to the local groundwater plan, officials said.“This is an urgent issue,” said Natalie Stork, an official at the State Water Resources Control Board. “There are urgent impacts from continued overdraft in these basins.”The state enacted a 2014 law tasking communities with forming groundwater agencies and making plans to manage the resource sustainably, starting with the most critically overdrafted basins, including the Tulare Lake Subbasin.Five groundwater agencies joined together come up with a plan for the subbasin where farmers grow cotton, almonds and pistachios. But the plan was one of six that California's Department of Water Resources deemed inadequate this year.Now, the State Water Resources Control Board will hold a hearing April 16 to decide whether to place the Tulare Lake Subbasin on probation. If it does, large pumpers would report their groundwater usage and pay fees while the local agencies draft a new plan for the basin. If they don't, the board could eventually implement its own plan.Many communities rely mainly or solely on groundwater for drinking water and farmers count on it for irrigation, especially in a drought. California muddled through a spell of dry years until a series of winter storms drenched the state and dumped massive amounts of snow in the mountains. When the snow melted, it flowed down to form the reemerging Tulare Lake, which covered vast stretches of farmland with water. California has long tended toward wet and dry periods, but scientists at University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have said they expect climate change will lead to drier dry years and wetter wet years.。据南海报道，1月12日。今天下午，海南省人民政府企业家咨询会在三亚召开。马云主持创立大会，选举了马云、马化腾、梁建章、宁高宁、周其仁五名本组织成员。马云是董事长，马化腾是副董事长。其中，马云现任阿里巴巴集团董事长，马化腾现任腾讯集团董事长，梁建章任携程旅行网董事长，宁高宁任中化集团董事长，周其仁任北京大学国家发展研究院教授。据了解，“海南省人民政府企业家咨询会”是一个机构，而不是通常意义上的会议。该组织的成员是有意深入干预海南建设的知名企业家。审议大会通过了其章程和议程。企业家咨询会的作用是聚集各方人才，贡献企业家智慧，展示海南深化改革开放的形象，引进一流企业。会议有六个议程项目，目前正在逐一进行。
