California: Worries rise as water levels fall in North County

Feb 13, 2011

Wineries, ranchers, governments, residents and industry in the North County are slurping so much water out of the ground so quickly that the area could reach a point where it is losing more water than man and nature can re-supply, the county says. The Board of Supervisors two weeks ago slapped a Level of Severity III designation on the Paso Robles groundwater basin, a categorization that serves as a warning that the area could go into overdraft.
