Why will the basin need more water if rice farming is going away?
The demand for rice may fluctuate from year to year, but this doesn’t mean the industry will disappear. State and regional water planners assume that the rice industry in the lower basin will continue for at least the 50-year water supply planning horizon. Those agriculture demands must be taken into account during the water supply planning process.
