The Bureau of Reclamation has announced its 2022 water allocations for the Central Valley Project. CVP contractors south of the Delta will receive no water, except for a couple specific agencies.

Free water deliveries have started for some San Joaquin Valley residents with nitrate contaminated wells. But advocates worry outreach has been lacking and not enough wells have been tested.

Managers for all the deficient subbasins will now have six months to address plan deficiencies as outlined by the state and resubmit them to DWR for another review. If the plans are rejected at that time, the state Water Resources Control Board could take over the subbasins and manage groundwater directly, or take other, more punitive actions.
