DWR Prepares For More Water Cuts

Due to lingering dry conditions cause by the drought, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) plans to resubmit a temporary urgency change petition (TUCP) to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on March 18^th . This reintroduction comes after DWR withdrew the petition after the state experienced heavy December storms. Should the Board approve the emergency petition it would allow the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project to make modifications to water quality and right permit requirements in the Delta.
