A | 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.。据新浪科技1月10日消息，优酷宣布将起诉网络媒体双新闻传播虚假信息和侵犯优酷商誉。优酷索赔1000万元，并要求其通过官方渠道公开道歉。昨晚，“鞭打公牛”发表了一篇题为“今天的头条新闻已经到达优酷的收购”的文章，称今天的头条新闻已经到达优酷的收购，并且正在与西瓜视频业务对接。优酷回应说：爆炸完全是虚假的胡说八道，严重影响优酷品牌的声誉，优酷将追究相关自媒体传播虚假新闻的法律责任；字节打人副总裁李亮回应说：“新闻不是真的”；阿里大文娱乐称此内容是虚假新闻，R。umor应承担法律责任。去年12月，有传言称字节弹跳（今天的头条新闻和Tremolo母公司）将收购优酷，据报道，字节弹跳（今天的头条新闻和Tremolo母公司）正与阿里巴巴商谈以50亿美元收购优酷和阿里巴巴音乐相关业务。优酷官方微博帖子叫“胡说”！今天的头条新闻也回应说“这个谣言不是真的”。
