Climate change

[tvguy]

Well, I said wet early winter, which seems to have been the case indeed. I wouldn't expect that to end any drought though.  As for preserving water....I would think, that with peoples wells running dry, perhaps measures that regulate agricultural use might be a consideration? I lived in Southern California in the seventies when drought measures for civilians were in place.  Like lawn watering, etc. etc. A lot of public education stuff about conserving and it was certainly heard if not practiced universally.

 Sure if farming is running people wells dry it needs to be regulated. I read about this happening but I don't know where.

 As far as drought measures for civilians were in place that would be the Medford water commission and I really don't think there will be a shortage from them. At least I hope not because that would mean the Rogue river was low.

I've been hearing stories of wells in Talent running dry.

Ya know I had a lot of discussions with people in the talent group who made all these claims I commented on earlier.
That pot and hemp has replaced food crops and there was no more land to buy food.
Never mind that Ron Meyers is getting out of the pear business as well as others. Because the market is soft. They can't make any money.
NOT because of the lack of water. And I could never find one single person say their OWN well went dry.
