Comment on Groundwater Deplection Detected From Space

Some great research and data is evolving on mapping groundwater depletion.
Unfortunately, ACWA’s (Assoc. of Calif. Water Agencies) response to groundwater depletion is totally misguided – ‘if you look too closely at it, someone will want to regulate it. In the meantime, let’s pump like there’s no tomorrow.’
I suspect that a similar response would come from the grape industry itself.
And California is now the only state with no effective groundwater permitting or comprehensive regulations.
