In his request for the hearing to Natural Resources Water and Power Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock, Tipton wrote last week:
The uncertainties of annual water availability can imperil those communities which are hindered by an unwieldy regulatory framework that hinders the ability to store water for vital purposes. Through prudent supply management and the ability to store much needed water, communities can support jobs that depend on the availability of water, protect food security, control flooding, ensure continued recreation opportunities, provide water for the development of hydropower, and meet environmental protection needs.View the entire letter here.
