management has been allocating 30% more water that is flowing through the colorado river. that means that farmers have had to dig up ground water. they sink wells into the ground and pump up water from underground. aquifers. that has the central valley in california sinking. it sunk about an inch and a half over the last decade or so, according to a report to a report from nasa. who controls that ground water? how much ground water is there? the states control the ground water, but a lot of the states haven t put forward any rules that govern that ground water. that means if you re a farmer in the valley, you can sink a well down as much as you want and pump out as much as you can and the state hasn t passed rules to deal with that. the political will is difficult to corral in sacramento because water politics are so touchy. really no one knows how much water is underground really.
