Hm, op-ed. So not science. And, in the LA Times. Please ring me next year.

Second, the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 should be accelerated. The law requires the formation of numerous, regional groundwater sustainability agencies by 2017. Then each agency must adopt a plan by 2022 and “achieve sustainability” 20 years after that.
That has to be a CARB/SCAQMD type bureaucracy push, which will regulate groundwater in an entirely different way, stripping every existing right and replacing it with appointed (not elected) officials.
Meanwhile, the LA Times comments section seems to be pushing guilt, and Veganism is the solution.
