Wisconsin | Exactly, there's a lot of "dropping water table" talk even in the wettest parts of WI, where the section lines are blue on the map, but the FIB's expect their lake homes on man made reservoirs built in sand to have a stable water level through a dry summer. Yes, the water level drops, every summer, and overflows everything every spring. Not the same thing as parts of TX that are dropping the water table hundreds of feet over however many years.
There is some regulation of irrigation wells, mostly through fighting new farm development as far as I know. That irrigated part of WI is relatively small, but produces way more calories of food per acre than even the central valley. I don't know what the regulations are in NE, but they vary from under 1,000 elevation to over 5,000, so there's a bit of variation in water availability. Not at all like most of CO or CA. | |
