向幸福出发California considers stepping in to manage groundwater basin in farm country_我的网站
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.。 央视网消息：上海日前开展了出租车支付便利化改造，首批有50辆支持境外银行卡支付的出租车投入运营。 在上海首批支持外卡支付的出租车内，技术人员正在与出租车司机，进行支付流程演示。 最新添加到出租车内的POS机，可以支持五大卡组织外卡支付，以及银联境内外银行卡支付，让外籍人士也能便利支付、轻松出行。多种电子支付方式也在车内张贴了明确的支付标识。 据了解，首批50辆支持外卡支付的出租车已运营一周。上海市计划到2024年11月，将实现2000台车辆支持境外银行卡支付。为方便司机给乘客提供找零服务，出租车内还配备现金“零钱包”。 发放人民币“零钱包”8万多个 优化支付服务 为了进一步优化支付服务，更好满足老年人、外籍来华人员等群体在商业领域的多样化支付服务需求，各种举措纷纷落地实施。在辽宁省大连市，各金融机构推进、落实“零钱包”等服务，方便现金存取和兑换。
