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.。 Music duo Sachet and Parampara Tandon have set off a major buzz online after dropping a detailed video where they accuse composer Amaal Mallik of spreading what they call “false and baseless” claims about their 2019 hit Bekhayali from the Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh. The couple shared the video on Instagram and described it as an “expose” on Amaal Mallik. Their caption strongly stated, “Warning. This video could have been a 10 second proof to shut down all rumours, but exposing some people became important for our mental peace. @amaal_mallik SHAME ON YOU AMAAL MALIK.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by सचेत टंडन (@sachettandonofficial) In the video, Sachet and Parampara respond to Amaal’s recent statements where he allegedly hinted that Bekhayali sounded similar to an older tune of his. They firmly maintain that the track was “entirely original” and was created during joint sessions with Shahid Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. According to them, they have complete chat records with Amaal and the Kabir Singh team that show every melody, beat and lyric came out of those meetings. They also clarify that they had no association with T Series before Kabir Singh, while Amaal had been working with the label since 2015, raising the question, “Why would anyone favour us when we were complete outsiders?” The duo also put out screenshots of Amaal’s earlier messages where he had congratulated them after Bekhayali released and said he was “waiting” for the song. They add that they did not even have Amaal’s number in the beginning and that he was the one who contacted them first. Calling out his public remarks, they accuse him of speaking without any concrete proof and of “misleading fans” while repeatedly blaming the industry for his professional struggles. They stress that their music, including tracks like Har Har Mahadev, is original and built through their own hard work. Sachet and Parampara conclude the video by demanding a public apology, saying Amaal’s comments have affected their image. They caution that they are ready to take legal steps if needed. The online reaction to their post has been sharply split, with many listeners appreciating their decision to speak openly, while others have voiced support for Amaal Mallik, keeping the debate very active across the internet.Also Read: After A R Rahman, Prasoon Joshi Expresses his Displeasure over Masakali 2.0。
