California: Worries rise as water levels fall in North County
Feb 13, 2011 6
Wineries, ranchers, governments, residents and industry in the North County are slurping so much water out of the ground so quickly that the area could reach a point where it is losing more water than man and nature can re-supply, the county says.
The Board of Supervisors two weeks ago slapped a Level of Severity III designation on the Paso Robles groundwater basin, a categorization that serves as a warning that the area could go into overdraft.
