Enviros now going after groundwater

 

 

The statement below that California is unique in not controlling groundwater is not true as there are states that do and others like California that don't.
 
As farmers run out of surface water their only choice in trying to survive is to use their groundwater. If this is controlled by the California State Legislature and not locally then ag will be fighting for its survival.
 
Our guess is that if the legislation passes with groundwater regulation the State will immediately set up a regulatory agency to start controlling groundwater but the new dams and groundwater banks projects in the bond will take years and the enviros will block them at every turn.
