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

一 |     Superstar Shah Rukh Khan was in Dubai for a grand event where he spoke about a moment from his early life that shaped everything that followed. He was attending the launch of a commercial tower that carries his name and shared that the turning point in his journey happened long before he stepped into Bollywood. Standing beside his close friend Farah Khan, he revisited memories that continue to influence him even today.           Looking back, Shah Rukh said, “My life changing moment was the passing away of my parents at a very young age. I thought they had become stars in the sky. Mujhe laga woh tara ban chuke hain and they will not be able to see me.” He explained how that loss pushed him to strive harder, adding, “So, I worked harder to become a bigger person. God has been very kind. I just put a bronze statue of myself from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in London. I won a National Award, and now I have a building in Dubai which is my name. The idea was to become so big on Earth that my parents can see me from heaven. For me, that is the life changing moment.”     Hearing this, Farah said, “This is as close to the sky as one can get,” referring to the tower, and Shah Rukh softly replied, “I hope they can see me from there.” He also reflected on his family, remembering his father Taj Mohammed who died when he was 14 and his mother Lateef Fatima Khan whom he lost at 24. Today, he shares his life with Gauri Khan and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam.          On the work front, Shah Rukh is now preparing for the release of King. The makers unveiled the first look on his birthday last month and it created instant excitement. Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, the film is set for a 2026 release. The cast includes Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma and several others.Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan officially announces Pathaan 2。    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.。
