‘We depend on water’: Valley ag reacts to new federal plan providing water from Delta
… “[I]n California, where we depend on water, we got to make sure that we have enough water to keep agriculture going,” said farmer Joe Del Bosque, who operates Del Bosque Farms in western Fresno County. … On Thursday, he welcomed us onto his farm to share his thoughts on the Bureau of Reclamation’s Action 5 plan, one they say will help fulfill President Donald Trump’s executive order to ‘strengthen California’s water resilience’. According to the Westlands Water District, it’s a plan that would provide a yearly increase of roughly 85,000 acre feet for those getting water deliveries south of the Delta. … He [Del Bosque] acknowledged the federal action and said it goes a long way in improving their confidence for the future.
