"The rates of San Joaquin Valley subsidence documented since 2014 by NASA are troubling and unsustainable," DWR Director William Croyle is quoted saying in a recent post from NASA Earth Observatory. "Subsidence has long plagued certain regions of California. But the current rates jeopardize infrastructure serving millions of people. Groundwater pumping now puts at risk the very system that brings water to the San Joaquin Valley. The situation is untenable." And yet .... more and more people keep going to California, many of them immigrant, legal and illegal.
What part of UNSUSTAINABLE do the people of California not understand?
Remember Jerry Brown gave away our water rights in the 70s that were bringing water down.
We got nothing for it. It was a moonbeam move.
