(Rebecca Plevin/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Maricela Mares-Alatorre stands at her kitchen sink and describes the contaminated water that became a suspect in a high-profile cluster of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/19/kettleman-city-birth-defects-declining/\" target=\"_blank\">birth defects in 2009\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Usually, very early in the morning or late at night, there’s like a petroleum smell, like gas,” Mares-Alatorre says, as water trickles out of the faucet. “Sometimes during the day, while we’re washing the dishes, we’ll have a white dish, and all of a sudden, we’ll see the water is totally brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mares-Alatorre is the leader of a community group, called People for Clean Air and Water, which has spent decades fighting for environmental justice in Kettleman City (Kings County). In recent years, the group has worked to halt the proposed expansion of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201002100850/a\" target=\"_blank\">nearby toxic waste landfill\u003c/a> -- already the largest in the western United States -- and has pointed to the birth defects as a reason to block it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2010 state investigation ruled out possible causes for the birth defects: It wasn’t the contaminated groundwater and it wasn’t the toxic waste dump.\u003cbr>\nBut Mares-Alatorre and community members question that conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s killing the babies of Kettleman City?” Mares-Alatorre asks. “We still don’t know. Is it the water? Could be. Is it Chem Waste? Could be. Is it a combination of everything? Maybe.”\u003cbr>\nThe community has tried to improve its water for decades, and it’s saddled with debt from several improvement projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here’s the dilemma: If the expansion is approved, then the landfill owner, Waste Management, has agreed to pay more than $500,000 to cover the debt hanging over the town’s current water system. That’s a mitigation effort the company agreed to in exchange for expanding its industrial facility near the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By paying off the debt, the company would move the poor farmworker community one step closer to affording clean but costly water from the California Aqueduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation has left Mares-Alatorre feeling conflicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very difficult situation because naturally everyone wants clean water,” she says. “I’d love to bathe my daughter in clean water, and have her brush her teeth with clean water, but what we’re giving up in return is equally dangerous, we feel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the waste facility, officials tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cecilio Barrera, Waste Management’s community relations manager in Kettleman City, and Lily Quiroa, the company’s public affairs manager, give a tour of the more than 50-acre, mountain-shaped toxic waste landfill. Quiroa says the company has been committed to preserving the environment, and contributing to the nearby community, for three decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve helped this community above and beyond whatever we’re told to do, per permit requirements,” Quiroa says. “In good times we contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the company agreed to pay off the debt because it’s the right thing to do, not because they intended to buy support.\u003cbr>\nBut Mares-Alatorre is skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know Chem Waste likes to frame it as they’re being good neighbors, but the truth is that they’re buying good will,” she says. “If you give me a choice between my good will and the health of the community, the health of my family, I’m going to choose the health of my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what being debt-free would mean to Kettleman City: Residents could get a more affordable rate on water from the California Aqueduct. Then they could get about $8 million from the Department of Public Health to construct a new water treatment facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mares-Alatorre says she would prefer to search for grant funding instead of relying on Waste Management for a solution to the water problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know the water has to be fixed,” she says. “It’s an important thing for our residents – but I also see other communities have significant water issues like nitrates, and arsenic, and they’re getting solutions, and they’re not agreeing to the expansion of a giant toxic waste dump in their backyard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Kettleman City residents say they are skeptical about the environmental impact report, completed as part of the expansion permit process, by a consultant for Kings County. Mares-Alatorre’s group says the report shouldn’t be used when the Department of Toxic Substances Control makes a final decision on the expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, legislators in Sacramento have called on DTSC to change the way it regulates hazardous waste. A department spokesperson says the oversight hearing will not impact the Kettleman Hills expansion decision, which is expected in the next couple months.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In recent years, the group has worked to halt the proposed expansion of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201002100850/a\" target=\"_blank\">nearby toxic waste landfill\u003c/a> -- already the largest in the western United States -- and has pointed to the birth defects as a reason to block it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2010 state investigation ruled out possible causes for the birth defects: It wasn’t the contaminated groundwater and it wasn’t the toxic waste dump.\u003cbr>\nBut Mares-Alatorre and community members question that conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Is it Chem Waste? Could be. Is it a combination of everything? Maybe.”\u003cbr>\nThe community has tried to improve its water for decades, and it’s saddled with debt from several improvement projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here’s the dilemma: If the expansion is approved, then the landfill owner, Waste Management, has agreed to pay more than $500,000 to cover the debt hanging over the town’s current water system. That’s a mitigation effort the company agreed to in exchange for expanding its industrial facility near the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By paying off the debt, the company would move the poor farmworker community one step closer to affording clean but costly water from the California Aqueduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation has left Mares-Alatorre feeling conflicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very difficult situation because naturally everyone wants clean water,” she says. “I’d love to bathe my daughter in clean water, and have her brush her teeth with clean water, but what we’re giving up in return is equally dangerous, we feel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the waste facility, officials tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cecilio Barrera, Waste Management’s community relations manager in Kettleman City, and Lily Quiroa, the company’s public affairs manager, give a tour of the more than 50-acre, mountain-shaped toxic waste landfill. Quiroa says the company has been committed to preserving the environment, and contributing to the nearby community, for three decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve helped this community above and beyond whatever we’re told to do, per permit requirements,” Quiroa says. “In good times we contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the company agreed to pay off the debt because it’s the right thing to do, not because they intended to buy support.\u003cbr>\nBut Mares-Alatorre is skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know Chem Waste likes to frame it as they’re being good neighbors, but the truth is that they’re buying good will,” she says. “If you give me a choice between my good will and the health of the community, the health of my family, I’m going to choose the health of my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what being debt-free would mean to Kettleman City: Residents could get a more affordable rate on water from the California Aqueduct. Then they could get about $8 million from the Department of Public Health to construct a new water treatment facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mares-Alatorre says she would prefer to search for grant funding instead of relying on Waste Management for a solution to the water problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know the water has to be fixed,” she says. “It’s an important thing for our residents – but I also see other communities have significant water issues like nitrates, and arsenic, and they’re getting solutions, and they’re not agreeing to the expansion of a giant toxic waste dump in their backyard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Kettleman City residents say they are skeptical about the environmental impact report, completed as part of the expansion permit process, by a consultant for Kings County. Mares-Alatorre’s group says the report shouldn’t be used when the Department of Toxic Substances Control makes a final decision on the expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, legislators in Sacramento have called on DTSC to change the way it regulates hazardous waste. A department spokesperson says the oversight hearing will not impact the Kettleman Hills expansion decision, which is expected in the next couple months.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

State officials said this week that 17 communities across the state are at risk of completely running out of water within two months. Host Scott Shafer talks about the issues at stake with Paul Rogers, the managing editor of KQED Science and environment writer for the San Jose Mercury News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Paul, what if anything do these 17 communities have in common?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PAUL ROGERS:\u003c/strong> Well, the one thing they have in common is that they are all small communities. The largest one of these communities has 11,000 people in it. And basically when we look at the drought, we know that it hit ranchers really badly because they do not have enough water to grow grass for cattle, and we know it's hurting farmers because they are not getting as much water from the Delta and other sources. It’s not really affecting a lot of big urban water areas like the San Francisco PUC, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the L.A. Water Department, because those areas have big staffs, hundreds of millions of dollars in resources, and they have spent the last 20 or 30 years putting in safety nets: new reservoirs, conservation programs, recycled water. And these little districts with the small number of ratepayers do really not have a safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> So they just have not had the money, the wherewithal, to prepare for this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROGERS:\u003c/strong> Exactly. Many of them were vulnerable to begin with. In some cases, they couldn't even maintain and fix their equipment as it was. And then when they have a drought that gives you the least rain in the history of California back to 1850. It’s a tipping point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> So assuming it doesn't rain much in the next few weeks, what happens when you run out of water? You turn on the tap and what happens?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROGERS:\u003c/strong> Depending on what community you're in, there will be different solutions. In some of these communities, what they're going to do is connect a pipeline from their water supply to another water supply that has plenty of water. If you're in a more rural area, though, you might have to truck in water for a while. You might get loans from the federal or state government or get grants to drill a new well if your well’s running dry. You might, in some extreme cases, need to set up a mobile desalination plant if it went on for a long time. So. there’s a whole suite of tools, and different communities are in different levels of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> And all of them, as you said, relatively poor. Where do they get the funds for these kinds of things?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROGERS:\u003c/strong> It not necessarily poor. Some of them are in somewhat wealthy communities, like Healdsburg or Cloverdale. It’s just that they do have big rate bases. If you have five or ten thousand people and you need a $500 million reservoir, each of those houses can't afford to pay that usually, so there are programs the state has, the federal government has to loan people money. But in a lot of cases, these ratepayers are going to have to pay a lot of money. They're drilling two new wells in Cloverdale right now, and that was paid with a 50 percent increase in the water bills of the people who live in Cloverdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> And so if the drought continues, are we likely to see other communities in the same situation? Perhaps more urban ones even?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROGERS:\u003c/strong> Well, absolutely. There are 3,000 water districts in California, and there are a lot of small ones. It is expensive to drill new wells, to build reservoirs, that kind of thing. So I would expect, if the drought continues, we're going to see more small areas getting into trouble and needing help. The larger areas, though, the larger districts where you have millions of customers, they're not doing mandatory rationing. They're doing voluntary 10 percent cutbacks. Santa Clara is doing that, Hetch Hetchy’s doing that, we're probably going to see that at EBMUD. They have a lot of water in storage, they have conservation programs, and the drought will have to go on much longer before there’s a severe problem with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> I know in the past there’s been tension between Northern California and Southern California. L.A. is actually in pretty good shape this time around, aren't they?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROGERS:\u003c/strong> L.A., after the last drought ended, from 1987 through ‘92, they built a big reservoir called Diamond Valley Reservoir. I think it's 800,000 acre-feet. They’ve done incredible conservation down there with rebates for low-flush toilets. Los Angeles is using the same amount of water right now in terms of gallons as they did 30 years ago even though the population has grown. So, too, is San Jose. San Jose is using the same amount of water, actually all of Santa Clara County, about 350,000 acre-feet now, as they were in 1980. There is this myth that Southern California is taking all of Northern California’s water. It’s not true. Farmers in California use 80 percent of the water people use. All 38 million residents use the other 20 percent. So when we talk about who is going to suffer the most, it’s small rural communities without a lot of money, and it’s farmers and ranchers who need the water most for their economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More: California Drought: \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2014/01/29/california-drought-17-communities-on-the-critical-list/\" target=\"_blank\">17 Communities on the Critical List\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The light rain that has fallen across the region won't fool anyone into thinking the drought is over, but it has ended a record rainy-season dry spell in Sacramento and other locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state capital went 52 straight days with no rain, beating \u003ca href=\"http://infospigot.typepad.com/infospigot_the_chronicles/2014/01/todays-meteorological-note-how-dry-is-it-in-sacramento.html\" target=\"_blank\">the old record of 44 days\u003c/a> (set in 1976; in 1884, Sacramento once went 46 days without \u003cem>measurable\u003c/em> rain, but did experience a trace of precipitation during that time).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brief, stingy storm dropped just three-hundredths (.03) of an inch of rain on San Francisco, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">the most recent National Weather Service rain summary\u003c/a>. That gives the city .06 inch of rain for the month, making this the driest January since the record-keeping began in the city in the rainy season of 1849-50. The previous driest January: .26 inch, in 1920. The city got .49 inch in January 2013, then the third-driest January in the record book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the weather system has not been so parsimonious elsewhere in the state. The Sierra Nevada is getting a decent jolt of snow — 2 feet or more in elevations above 7,000 feet — and some reporting stations in the Sierra foothills and along the North Coast have gotten a soaking rain, with storm totals between 1 and 2 inches since rain started falling Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forecast: Much of Northern and Central California have a chance of rain today, and snow is expected to linger over the Sierra through Friday. Another weather system is expected to approach the coast Saturday, but forecasters' say it will likely miss the Bay Area.

The light rain that has fallen across the region won't fool anyone into thinking the drought is over, but it has ended a record rainy-season dry spell in Sacramento and other locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state capital went 52 straight days with no rain, beating \u003ca href=\"http://infospigot.typepad.com/infospigot_the_chronicles/2014/01/todays-meteorological-note-how-dry-is-it-in-sacramento.html\" target=\"_blank\">the old record of 44 days\u003c/a> (set in 1976; in 1884, Sacramento once went 46 days without \u003cem>measurable\u003c/em> rain, but did experience a trace of precipitation during that time).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brief, stingy storm dropped just three-hundredths (.03) of an inch of rain on San Francisco, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">the most recent National Weather Service rain summary\u003c/a>. That gives the city .06 inch of rain for the month, making this the driest January since the record-keeping began in the city in the rainy season of 1849-50. The previous driest January: .26 inch, in 1920. The city got .49 inch in January 2013, then the third-driest January in the record book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the weather system has not been so parsimonious elsewhere in the state. The Sierra Nevada is getting a decent jolt of snow — 2 feet or more in elevations above 7,000 feet — and some reporting stations in the Sierra foothills and along the North Coast have gotten a soaking rain, with storm totals between 1 and 2 inches since rain started falling Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forecast: Much of Northern and Central California have a chance of rain today, and snow is expected to linger over the Sierra through Friday. Another weather system is expected to approach the coast Saturday, but forecasters' say it will likely miss the Bay Area. After that little disturbance, it's back to dry weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Melody Gutierrez of the San Francisco Chronicle was the first to tweet what the announcement will be:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JerryBrownGov\">@JerryBrownGov\u003c/a> declaring drought tomorrow at SF press conference, sources confirm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Melody Gutierrez (@MelodyGutierrez) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MelodyGutierrez/statuses/423984398854148096\">January 17, 2014\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento Bee \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2014/01/drought-laydown.html\" target=\"_blank\">also cited unidentified sources \u003c/a>as saying a drought declaration is coming Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Brown visited Fresno and heard pleas from state lawmakers, local officials, agricultural industry representatives and San Joaquin Valley residents for a drought declaration. He told them, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-jerry-brown-says-drought-declaration-imminent-20140113,0,3247475.story#ixzz2qc4mweIo\" target=\"_blank\">the Los Angeles Times recounted\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It’s coming,” Brown said of a formal proclamation when asked during a press conference at Fresno City Hall. \"Just be patient. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really serious,” Brown said. “In many ways it’s a mega-drought; it’s been going on for a number of years.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/01/13/3711994/valley-leaders-urge-gov-jerry.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fresno Bee added\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/07/california-drought-update-catholic-bishop-urges-faithful-to-pray-for-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">bishops are advising us to pray for rain\u003c/a>. I am planning to go beyond that and do whatever we can in terms of water exchanges, working with local farmers and water districts to maximize the resources that we have. It is really serious and my staff and administration are preparing appropriate papers to do what is necessary.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among those calling on Brown to declare an emergency: Sen. Dianne Feinstein and San Joaquin Valley Rep. Jim Costa, who issued \u003ca href=\"http://costa.house.gov/index.php/2013-press-releases/1004-feinstein-costa-call-for-drought-emergency-declaration\" target=\"_blank\">a joint statement last month\u003c/a> urging action. The declaration would also clear the way for President Obama to declare a federal emergency, put some federal regulations on hold, facilitate transfers of waters among federally managed projects and provide financial relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown is cautioning California residents that the practical import of a drought declaration is limited. The Sacramento Bee says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I'm trying to understand what physically we can do in the face of this drought, and then legally what steps can I take,\" the Democratic governor told reporters in Bakersfield on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said a drought declaration could be helpful, \"but at the end of the day, if it doesn't rain, California's in for real trouble. And the governor, through a declaration, can't make it rain.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The state's also seeing agitation for longer-term solutions to the state's water supply challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a State Capitol rally of lawmakers, farm community residents and agriculture industry officials urged support for \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=214482319292510809356.000477e93a1c507e4d467&dg=feature\" target=\"_blank\">an $11.1 billion water bond\u003c/a> that's been in limbo since 2010. The Legislature passed the measure, which provides billions for new dams and would support more than a hundred local conservation and water supply programs, but has twice pulled it from the ballot. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2014/01/pass-a-water-bond-central-valley-lawmakers-urge-at-rally.html\" target=\"_blank\">From the Sacramento Bee, again\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I see farmers, I see farmworkers; I see people from urban communities and from rural communities, all here today to send one message: that we need water,\" said Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A procession of Democratic and Republican lawmakers, most representing the Central Valley, took the podium to issue similar pleas. Many called for money to ensure clean drinking water and for more storage capacity, saying it would offset dry years by allowing the state to capture more during years of plentiful rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Additional storage is the key,\" said Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte. \"This year's drought simply underscores how critical the situation has become.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sea of blue signs reading \"sin agua=no ay futuro\" (no water, no future) or some variation backdropped the speakers, highlighting the California Latino Water Coalition's role in organizing the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"2014 is going to be one of California's worst water supply years in recent history,\" said Mario Santoyo, director of the coalition. He called the shortfall an issue not just for reduced food production, \"but more importantly for those that are here, the issue is that when there is no water, there's no jobs.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And finally: Earlier this week, KQED Forum host talked to a panel of water experts on the unfolding drought and the governor's impending action:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/129541503&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The declaration also orders state water agencies to expedite proposed \"supply enhancement\" projects that are ready to break ground, to consider modifying reservoir operations to preserve water needed to protect water quality and threatened fish species, and to put water rights holders on notice that they may be required to limit planned water diversions or halt them altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor emphasized that the state may be facing the worst drought in its history, that no single government effort will meet the crisis and that Californians need to be ready for a prolonged effort to deal with a crisis in water supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the drought emphasizes that we do live in an era of limits and that we need solutions that are elegant,\" the governor said. He added there's \"a huge gap\" between the measures that may be technologically and economically feasible — steps like wider use of recycled water — and the measures now employed in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The more water we use, the less water we have. The more water we save, the more water we have.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Asked about possible battles over water use, for instance between environmental advocates and agricultural interests, the governor called on Californians to realize they're part of one large community and need to cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor concluded by saying, \"I wish I had more to say to you about this. All I can tell you is that it won't rain today and probably won't rain for the next several weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What kind of pain are Bay Area residents likely to feel as a result of the drought?

Jerry Brown has been facing increasing pressure to declare a drought emergency as California's long, long rainless and snowless winter continues. And now, action appears to be imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's office \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=18367\" target=\"_blank\">announced late Thursday afternoon\u003c/a> that the governor will make a \"major announcement\" Friday morning in San Francisco. Melody Gutierrez of the San Francisco Chronicle was the first to tweet what the announcement will be:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JerryBrownGov\">@JerryBrownGov\u003c/a> declaring drought tomorrow at SF press conference, sources confirm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Melody Gutierrez (@MelodyGutierrez) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MelodyGutierrez/statuses/423984398854148096\">January 17, 2014\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento Bee \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2014/01/drought-laydown.html\" target=\"_blank\">also cited unidentified sources \u003c/a>as saying a drought declaration is coming Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Brown visited Fresno and heard pleas from state lawmakers, local officials, agricultural industry representatives and San Joaquin Valley residents for a drought declaration. He told them, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-jerry-brown-says-drought-declaration-imminent-20140113,0,3247475.story#ixzz2qc4mweIo\" target=\"_blank\">the Los Angeles Times recounted\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It’s coming,” Brown said of a formal proclamation when asked during a press conference at Fresno City Hall. \"Just be patient. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really serious,” Brown said. “In many ways it’s a mega-drought; it’s been going on for a number of years.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/01/13/3711994/valley-leaders-urge-gov-jerry.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fresno Bee added\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/07/california-drought-update-catholic-bishop-urges-faithful-to-pray-for-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">bishops are advising us to pray for rain\u003c/a>. I am planning to go beyond that and do whatever we can in terms of water exchanges, working with local farmers and water districts to maximize the resources that we have. It is really serious and my staff and administration are preparing appropriate papers to do what is necessary.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among those calling on Brown to declare an emergency: Sen. Dianne Feinstein and San Joaquin Valley Rep. Jim Costa, who issued \u003ca href=\"http://costa.house.gov/index.php/2013-press-releases/1004-feinstein-costa-call-for-drought-emergency-declaration\" target=\"_blank\">a joint statement last month\u003c/a> urging action. The declaration would also clear the way for President Obama to declare a federal emergency, put some federal regulations on hold, facilitate transfers of waters among federally managed projects and provide financial relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown is cautioning California residents that the practical import of a drought declaration is limited. The Sacramento Bee says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I'm trying to understand what physically we can do in the face of this drought, and then legally what steps can I take,\" the Democratic governor told reporters in Bakersfield on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said a drought declaration could be helpful, \"but at the end of the day, if it doesn't rain, California's in for real trouble. And the governor, through a declaration, can't make it rain.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The state's also seeing agitation for longer-term solutions to the state's water supply challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a State Capitol rally of lawmakers, farm community residents and agriculture industry officials urged support for \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=214482319292510809356.000477e93a1c507e4d467&dg=feature\" target=\"_blank\">an $11.1 billion water bond\u003c/a> that's been in limbo since 2010. The Legislature passed the measure, which provides billions for new dams and would support more than a hundred local conservation and water supply programs, but has twice pulled it from the ballot. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2014/01/pass-a-water-bond-central-valley-lawmakers-urge-at-rally.html\" target=\"_blank\">From the Sacramento Bee, again\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I see farmers, I see farmworkers; I see people from urban communities and from rural communities, all here today to send one message: that we need water,\" said Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A procession of Democratic and Republican lawmakers, most representing the Central Valley, took the podium to issue similar pleas. Many called for money to ensure clean drinking water and for more storage capacity, saying it would offset dry years by allowing the state to capture more during years of plentiful rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Additional storage is the key,\" said Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte. \"This year's drought simply underscores how critical the situation has become.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sea of blue signs reading \"sin agua=no ay futuro\" (no water, no future) or some variation backdropped the speakers, highlighting the California Latino Water Coalition's role in organizing the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"2014 is going to be one of California's worst water supply years in recent history,\" said Mario Santoyo, director of the coalition. He called the shortfall an issue not just for reduced food production, \"but more importantly for those that are here, the issue is that when there is no water, there's no jobs.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And finally: Earlier this week, KQED Forum host talked to a panel of water experts on the unfolding drought and the governor's impending action:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
