New Orleans declares emergency over saltwater intrusion in drinking water | Louisiana | The Guardian

New Orleans declares emergency over saltwater intrusion in drinking water | Louisiana | The Guardian | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.theguardian.com - September 27, 2023 4:37 PM
Potential health risks of high salt concentrations for those who rely on Mississippi River lead mayor to sign declaration
Violeta Rivas's insight:
On Friday, the Mayor of New Orleans signed an emergency declaration. The reason for this decision is saltwater intrusion, which has the potential to severely impact the drinking water supply for those who rely on the Mississippi River as their primary source of freshwater. Saltwater intrusion has already impacted many residents in the area. Rain which could help by replenishing the river's basin, is not anticipated for at least a few months.

Goleta sues to stop 'Law & Order' creator from selling water to neighboring cities | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.latimes.com - September 30, 2016 1:40 PM
Law & Order creator Dick Wolf seeks to sell water from a basin beneath his ranch to neighboring cities such as Montecito, where he lives. The Goleta Water District has sued to stop him.
Dulce Lopez's insight:
Interesting article on how the CA drought is affecting our local community. Dick Wolf, an american TV Producer whom owns a ranch in Goleta is privatizing water from a water basing below his ranch. An excellent example of a local water war.

A win for the rancher is a win for all Californians with ground water rights utilizing their wells to commerce trade. I side with the rancher. I know farmers here in Ventura County that cooperate with neighbors to irrigate their fields. While working in Goleta in the greenhouses on Hollister Road I observed, it's the best way to avoid paying into the tiered system of municipal control. Tiered municipal water systems is government controlled water. Water is sold to the highest bidder. It's called freedom to not be reliant on government, knowing Henry Kissinger quoted in 1973 " Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people". “If you are an ordinary person, then you can prepare yourself for war by moving to the countryside and building a farm, but you must take guns with you, as the hordes of starving will be roaming. Also, even though the elite will have their safe havens and specialist shelters, they must be just as careful during the war as the ordinary civilians, because their shelters can still be compromised.” Every win for government top-dpwn bureaucracy effectively reduces the constitutional rights of an American making an honest living.
