Westlands Pushes for More Water Storage as California Declared Drought-Free

California has been declared drought-free for the first time in a quarter-century.

However, Central Valley water experts warn that the state needs to take immediate action to boost water supplies in preparation for future dry conditions. The U.S. Drought Monitor declared that California does not have any drought conditions last week. That is the first time that California has not experienced drought conditions since December 2000.
