Water Release from Dams Ordered by Trump Raises Concerns in California Agriculture
President Trump's order to release water from two California dams has sparked confusion and concern among farmers and local officials due to its timing and potential impact on agriculture.
Days after President Trump ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to release water from two dams in California's San Joaquin Valley, confusion remains among local farmers and residents. The quick release, which lasted three days, sent irrigation water flowing into rivers, canals, and ultimately retention basins, replenishing groundwater.
