"Western Water: Trump Opens Floodgates, And Acrimony Swamps Calif."

"On the campaign trail in 2016, President Trump swung into California's agricultural hub and vowed to deliver more water to the drought-ridden state's farmers.

"We're going to solve your water problem," he declared at a May 2016 rally in Fresno.

Three years into his administration, Trump is now opening the floodgate to deliver on that promise, setting up the most intense water war between the federal government and California in the state's history."
