California's historic water law
'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: A blossoming orchard at dawn in Laton, California, February 22nd, 2020.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground. In 2014, for the first time in its history, California passed a law regulating the use of groundwater – the resource on which 85% of its population and much of its $50bn agriculture industry rely. This year marks the first big deadline for the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Sgma), as dozens of agencies complete initial plans to protect overdrafted water resources.

'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: A home in Lanare, California, February 22nd, 2020. Lanare is home to roughly 550 people and had contaminated water for years. Last year, long-plagued Lanare finally got clean water.
Isabel Solorio hold a seat “on a rural community advisory committee for the groundwater sustainability agency that oversees their community of Lanare southwest of Fresno. Lanare is home to roughly 550 people who lived for more than a decade with water tainted by dangerous levels of the heavy metal arsenic, which has been tied to cancer, cardiovascular disease and cognitive development problems in children. That arsenic is naturally occuring in the clays deep underground, where it has seeped into lower levels of the water table that may have been in the aquifer for tens of thousands of years. “California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground.

California's historic water law
'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: An apricot tree begins to blossom on the Masumoto Family Farm in Del Rey, where they organic grow peaches, nectarines, apricots and grapes, California, February 21st, 2020.
With little precipitation since January, and the driest February in 150 years, the soil is drying out early.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground. In 2014, for the first time in its history, California passed a law regulating the use of groundwater – the resource on which 85% of its population and much of its $50bn agriculture industry rely. This year marks the first big deadline for the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Sgma), as dozens of agencies complete initial plans to protect overdrafted water resources.

'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: Bottled water on a front porch in Tombstone Territory, an unincorporated working class neighborhood 20 minutes south east of Fresno, California, February 21st, 2020.
The vast majority of residents in the Central Vally rely on groundwater for home use, which is “growing increasingly scarce, as prolonged drought and a drier climate, coupled with a massive thirsty agriculture industry have drained the valley’s underground stores. Much of what is left is poisoned by agricultural runoff and naturally occurring toxins in the soil that have mixed with the groundwater and surfaced through extensive drilling and pumping.”
As groundwater levels have become lower and lower, many residential wells have dried up in Tombstone Territory leaving people to rely on bottled water trucked in by charities.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground.

Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: Jovita Torres rose garden in Tombstone Territory (an unincorporated working class neighborhood 20 minutes south east of Fresno) for 30 years, in her garden, California, February 21st, 2020. 4 years ago her well dried up and she and the other tenants were without water for a month until the landlord dug the well deeper. Yet the water is still contaminated. She uses it to water her plants and bottled water for drinking.
