CSPA responds to North San Joaquin CD on Ground and Surface Water
by Chris Shutes, CSPA FERC Projects Director November 15, 2009 -- CSPA has reaffirmed to the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District that injecting water from the Mokelumne River into an overdrafted groundwater basin cannot “replenish” groundwater. Far more water is taken out of the eastern San Joaquin groundwater basin every year than North San Joaquin proposes to put back in. North San Joaquin has developed no plan to begin correcting the overdraft, despite being asked to do so by the State Water Resources Control Board in a 2008 Water Rights Order.
