Department of the Interior released a plan which addresses the use of water from the Trinity River, a small river in northern California that supplies as much as a seventh of the Central Valley Project's water.
Environmentalists and local Indian tribes have long argued that more of the water should stay in the river, but Central Valley farmers have argued that the water is necessary for growing crops. The Department of the Interior's "preferred alternative" is to split the water use with 48% remaining in the river and 52% diverted to the Central Valley; currently, about 75% of the water goes to the Central Valley.
