亚利桑那州与乳制品公司就地下水使用问题达成和解,要求农田退休和获得用水资金。 Arizona settles with dairy firm over groundwater use, requiring farmland retirement and funding for water access.

亚利桑那州总检察长克里斯·马耶斯与明尼苏达州一家在科奇塞州经营的乳品公司Riverview LLP就过度抽取地下水问题达成了1 100万美元的解决。 Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has reached an $11 million settlement with Riverview LLP, a Minnesota-based dairy company operating in Cochise County, over excessive groundwater pumping. 该协议要求Riverview在12年内撤出2 000英亩灌溉农田,并设立两项基金,以支持受水位下降影响的居民和学校。 The agreement requires Riverview to retire 2,000 acres of irrigated farmland over 12 years and establish two funds to support residents and schools affected by declining water levels. 这些资金将帮助更换水井、钻探和供水基础设施。 The funds will help with well replacements, drilling, and water access infrastructure. 该定居点是美国首创的定居点,它在农村地下水保护问题上无所作为,并关注Willcox流域含水层水平下降的问题。 The settlement, a first-of-its-kind in the U.S., comes amid state inaction on rural groundwater protection and follows concerns over falling aquifer levels in the Willcox Basin. Riverview承认区域水挑战并致力于可持续性,而州则认为这项协议是供水紧张地区公司问责制的典范。 Riverview acknowledged regional water challenges and committed to sustainability, while the state views the deal as a model for corporate accountability in water-stressed areas.
