LOS ANGELES Amid intensifying drought, state water regulators voted Tuesday to enact an emergency order barring thousands of Californians primarily farmers from using stream and river water.
California s complex water rights system is designed to allocate water use during times of shortage and such curtailments, while rare, are not unheard of. But the scope of Tuesday s order which includes thousands of senior water rights across a wide swath of the state is unprecedented, officials said.

Amid intensifying drought, state water regulators voted Tuesday to enact a drastic emergency order that will bar thousands of Californians primarily farmers from using stream and river water.
California’s complex water rights system is designed to allocate water use during times of shortage and such curtailments, while rare, are not unheard of. But the scope of Tuesday’s order which will apply to thousands of senior water rights across a wide swath of the state is unprecedented, officials said.
While the move has been protested by some farmers, irrigation districts and others, California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross called the decision “a necessary step,” saying the fact that senior water rights holders were included “speaks to the severity of the hydrology and what climate change has presented this year.”
