California: Measure to Overhaul Water Management - 2 views

  •  
    Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation on Tuesday overhauling the state's management of its groundwater supply, bringing it in line with other states that have long regulated their wells. This is really important because california has large agriculture based businesses (central valley). In fact, the oppositions to the legislature were people in the agriculture business. This potentially allows water companies and regulators to intervene if water use is excessive or improper. This is an article directly discussing scarcity of water and natural resources and how the government regulates these resources. This passing of this legislature could also have some opportunity cost along with it; less water=maybe more expensive food, less food, more chance of dying crops (?)
