Letters to the Editor: The drought is over? Tell that to Californians whose wells are dry (via latimesopinion )
More than 80% of Californians rely on groundwater, which is still in a severe drought. Even with the rains we’ve had, already 121 new wells have gone dry this year, a 55% year-over-year increase. During this drought, more than 1,600 domestic wells have gone dry and most of those families who’ve lost access to drinking water are still relying on hauled or tanked water.
We need further executive action to speed up drilling of replacement wells now. Families without water don’t have the luxury to wait for the legislative session.To the editor: “I have spoken of the rich years when rainfall was plentiful. But there were dry years, too, and they put a terror on the valley. The water came in a thirty-year cycle. There would be five or six wet and wonderful years ... and the land would shout with grass.... And then the dry years would come.... It never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.
