Chuck Darwin<p>California community’s future at risk in fight over declining groundwater, residents say </p><p>The Cuyama Valley north of Santa Barbara is one of the areas of California where groundwater levels have been rapidly dropping, <br>and where water continues to be heavily pumped to irrigate thousands of acres of farmland.</p><p>A group of agricultural landowners in 2021 sued other property owners throughout the valley, <br>asking a judge to determine how water rights should be divided. </p><p>That case, called a water adjudication, sparked an outpouring of opposition and prompted residents to organize a boycott of carrot-growing companies that are the valley’s biggest water users. </p><p>Participants have put up signs and banners reading “Boycott Carrots” and “Stand with Cuyama Against Corporate Greed.”</p><p>As the meeting began, some residents said the court case is saddling them with thousands of dollars in legal bills. </p><p>Others said they fear the lawsuit could undermine the parallel process of limiting pumping under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, or <a href="https://c.im/tags/SGMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SGMA</span></a></p><p>A meeting in late June offered a chance for people to share their fears not only with neighbors, but with three visiting state legislators and a high-ranking water official from Sacramento.</p><p>Those attending included state Sen. Monique <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lim%C3%B3n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Limón</span></a> (D-Goleta), Assemblymember Gregg <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hart</span></a> (D-Santa Barbara) and Sen. Melissa <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hurtado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hurtado</span></a> (D-Sanger).</p><p>Brenton Kelly, a community facilitator, said groundwater levels have dropped about 500 feet in part of the valley over the last half-century. </p><p>He pointed to data showing “a consistent extraction of more than twice the natural recharge.”</p><p>The local plan calls for cutting water use by as much as two-thirds by 2040. </p><p>But five years into its implementation, Kelly said, there haven’t yet been substantial reductions in pumping.</p><p>On lunch tables decorated with olive branches, organizers placed a packet of papers with numbers and graphics. </p><p>A color-coded map marked areas of rapid depletion in red and orange. </p><p>It read: “The big pumpers are pumping us dry.”</p><p>“We have the power dynamics of essentially David and Goliath, where we have a couple of powerful entities that are in control,” Kelly said. </p><p>“And then we have a disadvantaged community that’s trying to preserve its natural resources.”</p><p><a href="https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-07-03/cuyama-valley-residents-say-water-fight-casts-pall-over-community" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">latimes.com/environment/story/</span><span class="invisible">2024-07-03/cuyama-valley-residents-say-water-fight-casts-pall-over-community</span></a></p>
tim dalton<p>We stopped at Limon Colorado for a pit stop coming back from Green Bay. July 2022 Saw this quite colorful <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> on a silo there. Not what I’d expect to see but quite evocative of what Colorada is. <br>please take a second to open the rh photo to see the detail in the graphic.
