This is a good list, and some clear challenges. If the assertion in #1 is

Is it possible that many think a declining aquifer might be a problem, but
they don't think they can affect a solution, or that a solution might be
financially costly to them, or that a solution might have negative impacts
on the city (read, no growth).
