(The following response is posted to the above articles.)
Coalition response...For years farmers have been concerned with the overdraft situation of their water supplies from the aquifers. This concern was one reason why Californians supported the construction of the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project that delivered surface water to farms, homes and businesses. Dependable surface water supplies enabled farmers to turn off their irrigation pumps that lifted water from the aquifer to their fields. The water from the aquifer remained as an insurance policy when years of drought diminished the supply of surface water. However, environmental regulations that restrict water flowing through the Delta to Central Valley farms have caused farmers to increase groundwater use to keep their farms productive.  The solution to much of California's groundwater problem is to fix the surface water problem.  Governor Brown's recent announcement to move forward with water supply reliability and ecosystem restoration projects will go a long way to improve the situation for California's groundwater.
