California orders massive water cuts for senior rights holders
California regulators ordered 114 senior water rights holders in the Sacramento San Joaquin and delta watersheds to stop pumping Friday. The curtailment targets farms and cities relying on legacy claims dating to 1903 1914 or earlier, forcing thousands to seek groundwater or stored water while economists expect limited near term impact on food prices. The move marks the broadest curtailment of senior rights since the 1977 drought.
