NASA satellites are revealing what many in the San Joaquin Valley already know: The region’s underground water table is being depleted faster than it is being replenished.

A report released today says the San Joaquin and Sacramento river watersheds combined have in the last six years lost nearly enough water to fill Lake Mead, the gigantic reservoir on the Colorado River .

The NASA findings were presented today to the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco .

It's not the farmers, Jon, regardless of what that fishwrap said. It's LA and EBMUD stealing our water. Especially EBMUD given that the blinking Peripheral Canal doesn't exist yet.

From the article below the title of the thread should read CA Farmers, Cities and Industry sucking Central Valley dry.

The volume pumped from underground for agriculture, cities and industry is "not sustainable if current trends continue,"

That's nothing compared to the sucking that goes on in the San Fernando Valley.

True, but adding "cities and industry" to the thread title wouldn't get T-Man to come out of his bomb shelter.

How dare you? It's not industry, cities or the farms that's sucking the water table dry, it's environmentalists who won't let us develop our resources to benefit humans. One day, our children will ask us...

"Daddy, why do environmentalists hate God & why didn't your generation annihlate them like the loathsome wolves they are??"

Jon, one day in the future you'll wonder why there is no farming industry in the SW....you & your envirnmental, socialist, homo friends can blame the EPA, but it will be too late.....

Hey listen pal, if God hadn't wanted us to farm the desert, he wouldn't have invented the Colorado River.

Hell yea!....it's a frigging entitlement to Californians that car washes, golf courses & water intensive agriculture be allowed...nay, encouraged & subsidized, in the desert climate that is the Central Valley....
