I'd suggest the GMA candidates do some homework and actually read 
some of the studies/reports on our aquifer, particularly regarding 
the upper aquifer which if continued to be pumped at current levels 
could be in crisis as soon as 15-20 years from now. That aquifer 
currently supplies 30% of Moscow's water.
