Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, on Wednesday, May 24, called on the Trump administration to continue rules that now prevent the use of a Mojave Desert railroad right-of-way for a water extraction project. Los Angeles-based Cadiz company wants to pump large volumes of water from wells it owns in the Cadiz Valley between Barstow and Needles and pipe it over 40 miles of railroad right of way owned by the Arizona & California Railroad to Colorado River Aqueduct. The water then could be sold to Southern California water providers.
