Aquifers are being drained down here in LG, and across the U.S.. Some day we will see a renewal of the old timey fights over water. It's been coming.
How many years does it take for water to seep thru layers of terra? 150yrs at Zion park. So we never catch up, eh?
Now where do you suppose all that fracking mixture and Handford leakage goes. HMMMMM?
Aquifers are being drained everywhere.
Even here where we have above average rainfall (I get twice the precip. that the valley does) our aquifers are going down; my neighbor had to drop his pump another 40 feet because the water level has dropped 20+ feet in his well since he has been here. Fortunately I am on a slightly different aquifer; my well is 120' deep, the water is at 60' and the pump at 80' - neighbor's wells are between 300' and 500'.
