I know that I post a lot of things about water but here is another. If 
you have any interest in what is happening concerning water, especially 
groundwater, then read this post by Michael Campagna.  He is a professor 
of hydrology at Oregon State and an internationally recognized expert on 
water.

I post this because the pumping of groundwater to support agriculture is 
one of the big issues associated with the water war over the CA Delta.  
Consider the fate of Alviso from pumping too much water.  Consider also 
that some parts of the San Joaquin Valley, though not now 7 ft. below 
sea level like Alviso, have dropped 21 ft. due to groundwater 
withdrawals.  We can not make withdrawals from the natural economy to 
support the human economy without consequences.

What? No national groundwater monitoring network in the US? We've got 
drought, climate change, groundwater pollution, the potential for 
disputes over groundwater between political jurisdictions - yet no 
national groundwater monitoring (quantity and quality) network? If those 
reasons are insufficient, just peruse (or simply read the title of) the 
recent...
