Judge Vacates Approval for Cadiz's California Desert Water Grab

A federal judge has vacated a U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision that would have allowed Cadiz Inc. to repurpose a mothballed oil-and-gas pipeline to drain a large aquifer in the Mojave Desert. Tuesday’s order from U.S. District Judge George H. Wu responds to a BLM motion seeking to vacate and remand the agency’s December 2020 approval of the pipeline, issued in the Trump administration’s final days.
