A House Natural Resources subcommittee will hold a field hearing Friday in California to discuss the future of the state’s water supplies.
The Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries will meet in Santa Nella, about 70 miles northwest of Fresno, to discuss “Water Abundance: Opportunities and Challenges in California.”
Oregon Republican Rep. Cliff Bentz, the subcommittee’s chair, will host the panel along with California GOP Rep. John Duarte, whose 13th District seat is home to the hearing location.
“The hearing will examine California’s water supply, including the challenges faced through federal regulations, and connection to our nation’s food security,” according to a subcommittee memorandum.
