Two Borrego Clubs Close Amid Bond Default
rlarson is right about Williamson. He is not new to the job; he has been in it for two years. Making it appear that groundwater in the Borrego basin will last as long as 100 years is simply an attempt to lull residents into a false sense of security and reduce their demands that he do something about the long standing overdraft of our aquifer, which he has steadfastly failed and refused to do. There is a study of our groundwater situation underway by the California Dept. of Water Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey. Results thus far indicate that we may have approximately 35 years of water left at present rates of pumping. Farmers and golf courses in the valley have been mining the aquifer for over 60 years; and for sixty years the residents of the valley have been and continue to be in denial. For more information on how this unique resource has been and continues to be mismanaged your readers might want to go to borregowaterunderground.org Digger— January 18, 2010 11:37 a.m.
