Farms face ruin as groundwater law takes its toll
Decades of unchecked groundwater pumping across the San Joaquin Valley yielded a bounty of fruits and nuts matched by few, if any, places on Earth. But it depleted the aquifers, drying up domestic wells and causing sections of land to sink. California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, adopted in 2014, gives critically overdrafted groundwater basins such as those in the valley until 2040 to stabilize their aquifers. In 2020, the local groundwater agencies designated to implement the law submitted their sustainability plans, setting the process in motion.

State to consider Scott and Shasta river flows rules
California water officials last week directed staff to create a report that outlines the scientific basis for development of permanent instream flow requirements on the Scott and Shasta rivers in Siskiyou County to aid salmon and steelhead trout. In addition to developing the scientific basis report, the California State Water Resources Control Board asked staff to assess the economic impacts of baseline minimum flows and to continue modeling and developing information that could be used in the future to evaluate water year-specific minimum instream flows. The board also directed staff to obtain input on whether to extend the December 2023 emergency flow regulations for another year or implement a locally preferred alternative if it becomes available.

An insatiable curiosity
With chef Michael Hung, the conversational topics run the gamut: literature, ocean sustainability, investment strategies, surfing, mental health, animated movies and, oh yeah, food. Hung acknowledges an insatiable curiosity. “My brain is always working, so if I don’t feed it something, then it will move in the wrong direction,” he says with a laugh. Hung holds a bachelor’s degree in English language and literature and a master of fine arts in fiction writing. He has worked in the kitchens of some of the nation’s top restaurants and even served as menu chef and consultant on the Academy Award-winning film “Ratatouille.”

The art of hoshigaki
Marilyn Feller was amazed by the sweet burst of flavor the first time she tasted hoshigaki, traditional Japanese dried persimmons. “It’s been a love affair ever since,” she says. For years, she’d been regularly purchasing fresh produce from a farmstand at Otow Orchard in Placer County. But she’d never tried its hoshigaki until about 12 years ago when the farm’s owners, Tosh and Chris Kuratomi, suggested she sample some.
