I stumbled upon the source of groundwater for this limestone creek and it proved to be a brook trout oasis. I saw one big brookie chillin amongst the vegetation. I tried casting flies but didn’t have a great angle and kept getting snagged. In one final attempt, I snuck up behind the fish, with net in hand. When the fish realized, it attempted to scurry off, but ran into the wall of vegetation, turned around, and swam back into my net. I was (and still am) in disbelief. I have the video to prove it but Reddit won’t let me
i too want to reverse-carrie my way into the groundwater of stardom
That's my point. Many PFAS' are now considered carcinogenic, and are used to fight fires when water cannot be. Then they leech into the soil and groundwater.
The pressure prevents dirty groundwater from getting into the pipe. It’s an elegant system that compensates for old, leaky infrastructure, but a flood or pipe burst during a freeze can threaten that assurance. Hence the boiling advisory, even if the water looks clean.
I run into college-educated humanities people who think all groundwater is rivers in caves. We all have our specialties, so we rely on general survey classes being accurate--when they're not, "well Prof. Toff of the Oxbridge Numpties teaches the truth!" is not useful.
also fresh water in the US is EXTREMELY precarious in most places with rainfall patterns shifting, they're draining groundwater beyond capacity to recharge in most of the country (including here, use half the water for landscaping it's infuriating) better off next to the coast for desal imo

California has placed the Tule groundwater subbasin on probationary status, a step that brings additional state oversight, new fees and reporting requirements.
Letters to the editor: "The state water board must vigorously enforce the groundwater law, assuming that it is not hamstrung by the courts." www.latimes.com/opinion/lett...
In the San Joaquin Valley, large-scale agriculture is fine with the status quo because it can dig deeper wells while smaller farms and communities dry up.
