Our Tecopa weather station came in at a dismal 1.98" this water year, about 56% of normal. If we have another bad winter we could be looking at effects as grim as the drought of 21-22. Fingers crossed that predictions are wrong and this winter is a deluge.

any response of, "but AI can improve our lives by..." is easily rebutted by two phrases: "don't need it. Don't want it."

I wish everyone knew that aquifers in the Western US are almost never giant subterranean swimming pools full of water. They are generally comprised of rock of varying porosity and fracturing. If people understood that they wouldn't make so many dumb proposals treating aquifers like buckets.
