Can someone let IEDC know that a sustainable pumping rate does not mean the resource is sustainable? Aquifers across the US are being drained. They don’t refill with a few decent rainfalls. It takes thousands of years

This feels like when a major city announces it wants to fund an NFL stadium or NBA arena or MLB ballpark. Once they make an announcement it's already a done deal, and consultants are then hauled into not to test assumptions but to provide PR cover. Sports facilities are always a bad investment according to objective economist, but somehow their paid consultants always back them up. So I hope some consultants who are not on the payroll of an organization benefitting from this project will get a chance to make their own assessment.
