ground sinking and fissures it's OK just ask our Governor

Pumping of groundwater spurs surge in earth fissures …By Tony Davis … Arizona Daily Star … Tucson, Arizona Published: 06.05.2007
The number of earth fissures spreading across Southern and Central Arizona due to excessive water pumping is approaching 300, a top state geologist said Monday.
The Arizona State Geological Survey's office released maps showing that earth fissures are proving an increased safety risk to homeowners, as development expands into areas where fissures date back to the 1940s or '50s and in some cases to the 1920s.
Authorities have warned for decades that continued land subsidence from groundwater pumping can open up huge fissures. The warnings have increased in intensity in recent years as more homes are built atop old fissures, particularly in rapidly growing Pinal County between Tucson and Phoenix.

Hey, according to our Governor – Janet Napolitano – not to worry – like Bush - she too believes its unreliable science…?

Doesn’t she or why else would she continue to hitch her wagon to her “unsustainable” economic mantra of unrestricted growth. Why else would she deny “us” – that’s you and me – a prominent seat at the table respecting all discussions about our water and our air…?

It’s real, it’s an issue and it’s not going away, in fact the fissures are getting larger and becoming prominent in many areas of our State.
