California farmers strike a deal to cut water use
California farmers with senior water rights agreed to voluntarily reduce consumption by 25 percent during the drought. The deal, aimed at preventing mandatory cuts, covers delta growers along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and could serve as a model for broader agreements. Officials warn the drought remains severe and the plan depends on broad participation and an honor system.
