Yes, but does passing an "act" make the aquifer sustainable? My neighbors and my property are all on well-water. Last year SDG&E trenched the road, burying powerlines. SDG&E had to "dewater" to do the work, as we saw our well-water drop to nothing. More than 45,000 gallons of water PER DAY "trucked" away in tankers. SDG&E said we could file a complaint... What does naming an "Act" do? Nothing. It's a farce.

the Cadiz Aquifer is a gigantic natural reservoir located under the Mojave desert... a massive amount of water in the aquifer already with plans to recharge it with rain runoff... the private company seeking to make the water available to the public has done environmental studies showing negligible impact and have sought to use railroad right of way for pipeline conveyance which has been litigated since the Obama administration... other than desalination it seems to me the most logical route to start to expand our decades-neglected water supply.
