It was nice to see California U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein offer her own legislation to deal with California’s water crisis. Now, let the negotiating begin.

 

As expected, Feinstein’s bill does not go as far as the House bill in providing relief to San Joaquin Valley farmers who are being starved of water for their thirsty crops. Her bill does address water storage and does call for some flexibility in pumping water out of the San Joaquin Delta.
