Yeah, I understand quite well - Govts of Oregon and California are pretty fucked up. Good reason why many residents & businesses are moving to Texas where we let you breathe.
You're a self annointed genius, let's see if you can correctly answer this very difficult question:
What's the point?
I love your avocados but your citrus can't begin to compete with Texas grown. Ours is fresher, more juice, richer and much sweeter. I literally just finished a glass of freshly juiced valley oranges - pure sugary nectar to go with my tamales.
Genius? Anyone with 3 functioning brain cells can see how stupid your posts were
It's the almonds and pistachios that are getting ca.
I converse with Cali tropical fruit growers often in forums and most of them blame their govt. for not taking common sense action soon enough, mainly water restrictions. Luckily the current El Nino may have saved Cali, at least temporarily but you can thank the beholden liberal govt for getting the joe blow citizen into this mess.
Not true in most of Texas. We have recharge zones due to the large underground limestone caverns and the fractured limestone ground soil. In fact, you can drive all over Austin, in residential areas and see posted street signs stating either "Entering the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone" or vice versa, "Leaving....." Here's a map of just that one aquifer, recharge, artesian, etc. http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=2dc9266dc088444b82dd368c2222f6f6&extent=-101.1491,28.3665,-96.6364,30.6277
The farmers are the problem. Growing cash crop nuts that destroy water instead of fruits and vegetables that are actually nourishing. There are cities out here that people don't have showering water because the farmers are illegally drilling 2000 feet into the ground to pull water out. Unfortunately the residents all around cannot afford the millions it costs to keep up with the well depth of the farmers, so there just isn't any water for them. Because almonds are worth more than people.
Well, next time you eat your nuts don't forget where they came from.
It's not illegal to drill up to I think 200 or 500 feet. They are illegally drilling to the depths they are l, and causing citizens to not have drinking or shower water. That along with the fact that nestle is over here bottling up our water and shipping it to be sold elsewhere is pretty sweet.Well, next time you eat your nuts don't forget where they came from.
It's not illegal to drill (I mean you just can't hide a 100' ft. tower/truck) and yes they have been going deeper and deeper to get water. Ever heard of 'Exceptional Drought'?
I have 2 wells. One is rated 33 gpm the other 150 gpm. Tell your dirty friends I'll be glad to sell them some. I might even throw in a bar of Dial soap.
you're exhausting.
It's not me! Please keep both hands on the keyboard.
I engaged a bunch of fruit growers in SoCal about just that. They said there's not enough rainfall to make it worthwhile, something like 15" average in the San Diego area. Needless to say I hotly contested that as even morning dew or a drizzle can amount to quite a bit depending on your design.
That is interesting. Would collecting a few barrels, which inhabit 2-4 square feet of ground really make that much of a difference when another 200 square feet is unclaimed?
