California Water Shortage Seen Near Disaster Proportions
California water officials warn supplies may reach disaster proportions as agricultural land irrigation declines across the San Joaquin Valley. Fred G. Gurley of Santa Fe Railway and Raymond A. Leonard of the Feather River Project Association discuss diesel locomotive advances and state funded water projects to avert the crisis. Leonard argues for state responsibility and rapid development of the San Luis Reservoir while cautioning against over-reliance on federal funding. Gurley predicts limited production losses unless changes occur within three years. External factors include Dam and irrigation funding debates and regulatory pressures on rail and agriculture sectors.
