California considers stepping in to manage groundwater basin in farm country_我的网站

一 | SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California officials on Thursday faulted communities in a stretch of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley for failing to develop a plan to adequately protect groundwater in the often drought-plagued state.The state's water resources board set an April hearing to determine whether the Tulare Lake Subbasin in the heart of California's farm country should be placed on probation. It is the first time the state has made such a move, and the first step in a lengthy process that could end up requiring large farms in the area to report groundwater use and pay fees.California is starting to regulate the pumping of groundwater after years of drought and overpumping left rural residents’ wells dry and led to subsidence, or the sinking of land, in some communities. Both issues have affected the largely agricultural region, which is home to 145,000 people, and stand to worsen absent revisions to the local groundwater plan, officials said.“This is an urgent issue,” said Natalie Stork, an official at the State Water Resources Control Board. “There are urgent impacts from continued overdraft in these basins.”The state enacted a 2014 law tasking communities with forming groundwater agencies and making plans to manage the resource sustainably, starting with the most critically overdrafted basins, including the Tulare Lake Subbasin.Five groundwater agencies joined together come up with a plan for the subbasin where farmers grow cotton, almonds and pistachios. But the plan was one of six that California's Department of Water Resources deemed inadequate this year.Now, the State Water Resources Control Board will hold a hearing April 16 to decide whether to place the Tulare Lake Subbasin on probation. If it does, large pumpers would report their groundwater usage and pay fees while the local agencies draft a new plan for the basin. If they don't, the board could eventually implement its own plan.Many communities rely mainly or solely on groundwater for drinking water and farmers count on it for irrigation, especially in a drought. California muddled through a spell of dry years until a series of winter storms drenched the state and dumped massive amounts of snow in the mountains. When the snow melted, it flowed down to form the reemerging Tulare Lake, which covered vast stretches of farmland with water. California has long tended toward wet and dry periods, but scientists at University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have said they expect climate change will lead to drier dry years and wetter wet years.。本报讯记者陈晶涛报道 “未按规定程序处理建议条款引用、核对见面程序签署意见等不规范、处分决定执行情况不完整……”近日，区纪委监委案件审理室工作人员在审核虹螺岘镇纪委办理的某案件后，向办案人员面对面反馈问题、点对点进行指导。　　区纪委监委紧扣影响案件质量的核心要素和关键环节，组织全区13个乡镇（街道）纪（工）委开展案件质量评查，坚持“一案一评查一反馈”，有效破解基层案件质量参差不齐难题，全面守护案件质量“生命线”。

三 | 发现问题只是第一步，充分运用好案件评查结果才是关键。评查结束后，南票区纪委监委审理室对评查发现的问题进行汇总分析，列出个性问题+共性问题两张清单，反馈到乡镇（街道）纪（工）委，明确责任到人，列明整改时限。并开展问题整改情况“回头看”，对整改问题逐一“过堂”，逐一“销号”，确保问题真改实改。同时，以案件质量评查为契机，强化沟通交流，分享经验方法，探讨业务“堵点”，解决共性问题，一体推动基层纪检监察干部业务能力水平和案件查办质量双促进、双提升。截至目前，本次案件质量评查发现的76个问题已全部整改完成。 “下一步，区纪委监委将把案件质量评查作为保障和提高案件质量的重要举措，建立健全日常评查、全面评查、专项评查工作机制，常态化开展案件质量评查，推动提升纪检监察工作规范化法治化正规化水平。
