The council approved the pre- sentation and will move forward in working with the district. "The California Mediterranean climate only brings so much rain, meaning that for more than 100 years the ground has been drilled to pump the precious groundwa- ter," according to the Groundwa- ter Act Handbook. "Groundwater accounts for about 40 percent of the state's water supply annually."

A Tehama County Sheriff's Deputy saw Daugherty at 5:04 p.m. on the east bank of the Sac- ramento River and recognized he was wanted on an active warrant for a parole violation, said Assis- tant Sheriff Phil Johnston in a press release issued Wednesday morning. Law enforcement had been actively seeking Daugherty and a deputy attempted to take him into custody. Daugherty had cut off his GPS ankle monitor the week before Tuesday's incident, according to the press release. Daugherty ran toward the river at which point the deputy de- ployed a Taser in an unsuccessful attempt to apprehend him, John- ston said. Daugherty jumped into the river in the area underneath the Aramayo Way bridge at 5:09 p.m., swimming toward the op- posite side, and was seen float- ing past the docks toward I or H street about 5:15 p.m. A deputy at 5:16 p.m. reported that Daugherty was going under, according to logs. Deputies had been maintain- ing visual contact with Daugh- erty and requested a boating unit prior to losing sight of him about 25 feet off the bank of the west shore line, Johnston said. A boat and a California High- way Patrol helicopter were sent to the scene and a coordinated effort was made to located Daugherty. Medical personnel were staged in the area of Second and G streets. Medical was released from the scene about 6:20 p.m., according to scanner reports. At 6:16 p.m., the CHP helicopter located what the pilot believed to be a body submerged in shallow water downstream from where Daugherty had last been seen. He directed the boating unit to the area. Daugherty's body was recovered at 6:29 p.m., according to a log entry.
