KEEP UP
With the lack of rain water and snow pack over the last four years California has fallen into a catastrophic drought. The drought has got national safety warnings and is the primary concern of the state. Without the snow pack creating run off and flowing into the lakes to provide water for the central valley, farmers have turned to pumping ground water at crazy rates. With farmers pumping large numbers of water every day it is creating another crisis equal to the severity of the drought. Neighbors of farmers who have had wells for years are not able to compete with how deep and how much water they pump. The result; families wells are drying up and creating huge costs for families. Some towns near visalia have been without water for months and thus been left to have water tanks built and trucks bring in their water. This has huge costs and is not beneficial.
