Look at the image of the bridge, The water is almost to that level.

Originally posted by whodeyNot pumping so much groundwater would seem to be a good start.
A thumbs down? That is the response?
I thought this was a science forum.
Again, what is the solution to the problem? How do we keep California from sinking?
Originally posted by whodeyYes it would work. It would cost some people and benefit others. Right now, some people are basically throwing water away while other people don't bath for weeks because water is too expensive.
Ok, so we save California by regulating water use, building green houses, and stopping global warming.
How much is all this going to cost and are you sure it will work?
Larger farms have spent up to $1 million to drill 2,000 feet into the Central Valley’s ancient aquifer, Lockman said.
Originally posted by twhiteheadIt's looking like the drought is not going to go away any time soon so the only way to get fresh water is desalinization but that is going to take either a lot and I mean a LOT of energy OR a lot and I mean a LOT of real estate for the solar kind.

Improved regulation may even save money.

There is a lot of research going on making desalinization more energy efficient and we may benefit greatly ...[text shortened]... ywhere desert like and close to an ocean. You never will run out of ocean water that's for sure.
Originally posted by whodeyI don't know, but probably very little. As I said initially, humans tend to wait until its good and broken before they try and fix something.

Originally posted by twhiteheadThe entire state is run by Dims. Surely they are love trees and mother earth.

Well you are wrong. But that's not surprising given that what you think is invariably wrong.[/b]

Say it ain't so!! 😲
