Reclamation rules eyed by national coalition amendment plan
A new coalition named the National Alliance to Modernize Water Law seeks to overhaul the 1902 Reclamation Law. It proposes expanding acre limits to 320 per person, allowing land pooling, and removing residency requirements, with rules to separate federal water usage and prevent land speculation while clarifying non statutory exemptions. The effort draws support from major farm, water, banking and real estate groups and regional California bodies.
