Delta
Report
From USGS
Coalition response...This study correctly points out that surface water deliveries resulted
in farmers turning off their groundwater pumps and groundwater levels rising
and subsidence decreasing. The study also notes that when surface water
deliveries are cut back, the rates of subsidence return as farmers are forced
to use their pumps to keep their crops alive. Environmental regulations that
restrict the delivery of water flowing through the Delta to San Joaquin Valley
farms also cause fallowing of crop land and a loss of jobs, and the predicted
drop in groundwater levels along with increased subsidence rates. Reversing
groundwater overdraft requires improvements in our ability to deliver surface
water reliably and in amounts adequate to grow sufficient food for the public.
