Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Water Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on November 1, 2018, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on water resilience. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors and contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Previous estimates of groundwater in California’s drought-stricken Central Valley only looked at depths of up to 1,000ft (300m), but a new study says there’s three times as much freshwater at 1,000–3,000ft (300–900m) below ground.
