President Donald Trump is asserting more federal government control over water management decisions in California and ordering US officials to override local authorities, casting the steps as necessary to boost the state's firefighting capabilities.
The article discusses former President Donald Trump's assertion of federal government power over California's water management during his presidency. Trump, who has often criticized California's water policies, particularly around water storage and distribution, made moves to override state regulations. This included an executive order in 2019 aimed at increasing water deliveries from California's Central Valley Project, which was part of his broader push to prioritize water for agriculture over environmental protections. His actions were met with resistance from California officials and environmental groups, who argued that these federal interventions could harm ecosystems and violate state rights.
