California's water emergency is creating a new crisis in one of the world's most important farm regions, the San Joaquin Valley. As farmers pump groundwater to keep their crops alive during the drought, the ground is starting to sink. Ben Tracy shows us how the land is becoming as unstable as the water supply.

What was not stressed was that the collapse of the pockets that hold the water destroys the aquafer meaning that it cannot recover (recharge) removing any potential for recovery.

From what I understand, much of it is porous media, like sand, gravel and porous stone that can give and take water sort of like a sponge does. It can recover, but it will take thousands or millions of years to do so naturally. Note: the Central Valley aquifer was formed and filled over millions of years when the climate was (mostly) cooler. The Sierra Nevada was covered in deep snow, year-round with large glaciers and un-damed rivers literally filling the floor of the Southern San Juaquin Valley with an enormous lake, Lake Tulare. It was larger than all but the Great Lakes in North America. Look it up, it was incredible. It persisted into the 20th century. It supported large fishing fleets. Fish and Water fowl was shipped up to San Francisco by steam boats that ran on the lake for decades. After the dams were built, it shrank away, Like the Aral Sea in Russia. Anyway, that huge lake provided hydrostatic pressure to fill the Central Valley aquifer for millennia.

@@vladimirseven777 That is exactly what is happening. At some point the bread WILL cost 10$ if it continues like that. The question is: Will it cost 10$ before California is a complete desert and collapsed hundreds of feet into the ground or will it cost 10$ afterwards when there is no drop of water left in the ground. In the long run it would be better to change things right now. Not in the future. Damage is getting done with each passing day. So the irrigation has to get more efficient and the bit of rain that still comes must be used as efficient as possible. There are many things that you can do against desertification with plantings, retention of rain water and other methods. We also have to ask the question if the growing of water-loving plants should move to other places where there is more water available in the first place.

Farming in California is the problem. Farms in California get water for a lot cheaper than what people in LA and SF pay for water. If farmers in California had to pay the same price for water as everyone else in the state they would not be able to turn a profit. Buying crops from different states where water is abundant and cheap would solve the problem.

Fun Fact: Much of the lower Central Valley was actually a series of lakes and swamps that was built over when settlers from the East arrived; similar to Mexico City. This is why there was thousands of years of ground water there in the first place, and contributes to the sinking of the lower valley.

My opinion: I'm not convinced that is "farmers", more like corporations. We should start concentrating on feeding our citizens first. Another thing, we waste so much food. Restaurant waste is at an all time high. Don't believe me? The next time you go out to eat, watch what the waitress/waiter/busboy clean off the table. See how many don't get to go boxes. One more thing, to many shoppers want perfect vegetables. They need to go see how many vegetables are culled because they have blemishes. There seems to be a huge public disconnect between how our food is produced and processed.

Frankly humans should stop milk and milk products consumption. We are probably the only species that drinks the milk of another species. And the only reason we can drink milk into adulthood is a lucky genetic mutation. But if you are going to replace milk with "vegan milk"from almonds, it defeats the intention of saving water.

The farmer is speaking hogwash. A lot of food grown in California is exported out of the country or goes to animal feed. ITs a economic problem, farmers are over using the water because the water is basically free and there is no intensive to conserve. Farming is only 2% of the GDP in California, but it uses 80% of the water, so California would not be hurt by less exporting food. We would need jobs for those farmers. The problem with overusing ground water is that once you dry up the aquifer, it can never be refilled. Ground water is the best reservoir because you dont loose water do do evaporation like a open above ground reservoir.

Bread and milk...two things not primarily from California farmers. So that guy is full of shit. The real story is that a ton of the crops grown by California farmers are horribly inefficient when it comes to how much water they use. Almonds, rice, and alfalfa are the biggest offenders. Worse, a lot of it is shipped overseas to China. We're literally exporting our water overseas. How does this happen? It's profitable in the short term to do so, and big agriculture giants pay lobbyists to maintain all the loopholes and subsidies that keep it profitable. The problem isn't going to be solved until agriculture businesses (don't let this guy fool you that it's all struggling small farming families) are forced to switch to something more sustainable. God forbid you tell the country though that staving off a water crises means they can't have almonds all the time anymore. If anyone thinks lobbyists influencing legislators is a "liberal" thing, boy does reality have some bad news for you.

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley, one of the richest farming lands in the world..but when the environmentalist stopped all dams and reservoirs from being built, the farmers had to use underground water. Soon the valley will be a desert, just like Owens Valley. Third World countries are mainly caused by lack of resources, ie agriculture. Add to this lack of water storage the fact that corporate owned farms use so much pesticides that they are killing off the pollinators and it’s the perfect storm. We didn’t learn from the Dust Bowl Days or Owens Valley.

@@Acehitman369 If it would work, the private market would have done it already. I think desalination is double the cost of pumping, so the farmers will not opt to purchase desalinated water when it will cause their operating costs to go up. Take corn for instance, which yields $738/acre revenue and needs at least 10" of water per season, which is around $70 in irrigation costs. If you double that irrigation cost to $140, they would lose their profitability and go out of business. You have to remember that California corn producers would be competing with Midwest corn producers, which would not require desalination. Of course, they could opt for a less-thirty crop like wheat, but then they are competing with the Kansas crop, etc. In the end, market dynamics make desalination untenable.

If ever there was a national program screaming for funding it is for desalinization plants on all coasts with piping inland to replenish aquifers and surface water that is being depleted by increased usage so fast that the face of the planet is actually changing before our eyes from year to year. The optimal time to have started the program is actually past us, and water usage is on the increase. Data has shown this trend for decades, and now we are getting to a point of extremis in the very location where instability in the earths crust is probably not a good idea.

1. Capture more of the rainfall which flows out to the Pacific Ocean, to refill the aquifer. 2. Create more reservoirs (Site Reservoir due to start construction?) California hasn't built a new reservoir in decades. 3. Close the Southern border. 4. Desalination plants for Southern California. 5. Keep Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant open to power desalination plants & keep electrical rates low. 6. How to establish mass replenishing of the aquifer?

If I were president I would mandate every state to build solar farm warehouses/containers to grow vegetables Etc. in. It would save on shipping truck gases on the earth, create millions of jobs, fresher food that doesn't spoil as fast, cheaper food prices, state tax money would stay in that state, use of rain water, solar panels to cut energy down, would stop drought and forest fires. Everything I get says it's from Mexico, Peru, California, Canada when we can do this and it would come from your state not thousands of miles away and It usually spoils and goes to waste. Also stop buying/eating Almonds they are a huge contributor to why water is scarce, they use 1900 Gallons of water just to grow 1 pound of almonds.

Did you hear the comment at the end: "the world is mostly water". It is far from that. We all hear that water covers about 71% of the surface of earth but given the very shallow depths relative the radius of the earth, by volume water is only 0.7% of the earth. phys.org/news/2014-12-percent-earth.html

Republicans win office promising tax cuts for a corporate class who rarely pay a dime, and promises of no spending on social services. They deliver that. San Diego Mayor had 8 years to pave some roads. He did nothing. It could not even fake it and pave the road in front of the airport. spent $0 on ay homeless issue, and wants to run for Governor. Deserves 20 years in Pelican Bay prison. The man with 60 teeth in his mouth would fit in great there.
