Representatives Jim Costa (CA-21) and Adam Gray (CA-13) introduced their End California Water Crisis Package (last week), a suite of bills that would authorize additional California water storage projects, ease permitting restrictions, and create enforceable timelines for environmental review processes. The bills aim to expand California’s water storage capacity by providing funding and technical support to both develop and maintain water infrastructure projects. … The End California Water Crisis Package includes three bills to stabilize water access in the Central Valley.
