In 2008, over 100,000 acres of 4.7 million acres in the Central Valley were left unplanted because of lack of water.

The state is also considering requiring state water districts to measure groundwater levels. About 70 percent already do, but full compliance would give a true measure of water levels in the state?EUR??,,????'?????<
