[Vision2020] Water Concern?

[g. crabtree]

I assume the statement that includes "...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." is couched that way to leave 
room for the obvious corollary?

Could be 50-75 years, could be 115-120 years? Could be we really don't know 
for sure? Could be that Krauss, Carscallen, and Steed have as firm a handle 
on the water situation as any of the MCA candidates do.
