The lake draw down is incredible and obscene. :thumbs_up caught that on the news last evening. what if the lake were overflowing? damned if we do and damned if we don't i suppose. i thought the brazillian deforestation was the most alarming. :omg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepwater6 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes, that is crazy too. It would be nice to see a current time lapse of dropping underground aquifers. Since that's not possible do you know anywhere to get a chart of the last 20yrs with the levels of some of the larger ones? I have accumulated a lot of water co. stock. Not for myself, but for my grandchildren. I think the value of this resource is severely under priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that's not possible do you know anywhere to get a chart of the last 20yrs with the levels of some of the larger ones? Not exactly what you're after, but a little bit of googling led me to this chart from the Washington Post 10 August 2012: Where the world's running out of water in one mapIf I understand what's being represented correctly, a GF/AA ratio of 1 indicates exactly sufficient recharge to replace aquifer usage, a ratio of 5 indicates five times more usage than recharge. I was surprised to find the aquifer that supplies water to my area, the Edwards Aquifer, is relatively healthy. The reference well depth in San Antonio, while fluctuating annually, is relatively unchanged since 1933. Turtle- you may find that link interesting, as they recorded the impact of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake 3200 miles away.On March 27, 1964, the "Good Friday Earthquake" in Alaska generated shock waves that created a sloshing effect in the Aquifer and an almost instantaneous surge of over five feet in the J-17 well...
