California considers stepping in to manage groundwater basin in farm country_我的网站

A |     (ECNS) --“Going global” has emerged as one of the key themes of the 2026 World Robot Conference, which is being held in Beijing from Aug. 19 to 23.    At the booth of Beijing-based Yunji Technology, visitors can explore a range of practical applications, including smart hotel services, automated laundry retail cabinets, latte art coffee stations and freshly cooked noodle stations.        Yunji Technology Chief Product Officer Duan Yanbiao told China News Service that the company’s robots have already been deployed in more than 20 countries and regions, covering major markets across Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. The company serves more than 40,000 corporate customers, while revenue from its overseas business surged by more than 90% last year.    Another Chinese robotics company, Leju Robotics, said it began expanding overseas around 2018 and has since built international teams and distribution networks. Its desktop educational humanoid robots, mid-sized entertainment humanoid robots and full-size humanoid robots have all obtained international certifications, with partners now established in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other markets.    Global expansion is also a major focus for Guangzhou-based CVTE. The company said its overseas own-brand business grew 54.83% year on year in 2025. It has established subsidiaries in 10 countries and built localized marketing and service teams across 29 countries and regions, while its products and services now reach more than 140 countries and regions worldwide. The company has also developed local production capacity in Vietnam and Mexico to strengthen the resilience and flexibility of its global supply chain.                            。    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.。
