The California State Board of Food and Agriculture posted on its website that the CDFA Board will hear updates by federal and state officials on current water conditions and the outlook for this summer.
That update is scheduled at the board’s upcoming meeting on Tuesday, April 3rd starting at 10 a.m.
The meeting will be held at the California Department of Food and Agriculture, 1220 N Street at the department’s main auditorium in Sacramento.
The CDFA says in addition to an update on California’s water situation, the board will hear a perspective from South Africa on the impending ‘Day Zero’ in Cape Town, where drinking water supplies could run out in the coming months.
In addition, the board will hear an update on sustainable groundwater management.
Representative from Maricopa Orchards and Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group will provide perspective on groundwater challenges from a critical over drafted groundwater basin.
