Following more than nine hours of testimony from numerous stakeholders expressing concern regarding uncertainty and due process among other issues, the State Water Resources Control Board unanimously approved an amended emergency regulation on Wednesday to assure compliance with curtailment orders issued to protect senior water rights holders throughout the state. The emergency regulation will go into effect immediately.
