Report on Overdraft of County’s Underground Water Basin Revealed SANTA ANA—Overdraft of the Orange County’s underground water basin has averaged 37.4 feet during 10 years, and would have been 70 feet had not so much water been imported and spread in Santa Ana River bed. Consulting Engineer Paul Bailey told the Orange County Water District in a report today. Pointing up the critical situation which still exists, Bailey cautioned that there was a 71,000-acre foot overdraft during the 1953-54 year and that there is a "dim-prospect" of much natural replenishment this year. He said that it will require at least 80,000 acre feet of water to hold the underground water basin in balance." This amount, he added, "will not provide for any refilling of the depleted basin, and will not be sufficient to build up a wall of fresh water to hold back salt water intrusion under Talbert Valley, where numerous wells have gone saline and been made worthless." Bailey noted that on Nov. 1, 1943, the average water well table was 19.6 feet above sea level; on Nov. 1, 1953—10 years later—the average level was 15.8 feet below sea level. He said that studies have shown that static water levels stood below sea level along the entire coastal plain of Orange County. Wells have lost their levels so fast, in the rapid expansion of Orange County and the subsequent increased demands for more water, that the recordings show the tables are below sea level as far inland as the town of Olive. As far inland on west edge of the basin, Bailey said, wells stand below sea level from 20 to 30 feet—near Los Alamitos and Buena Park. On east edge of the basin, the below-sea-level readings were taken as close as a mile from Irvine. FENCE NEED REFINISHING??

Instead of 2131359 students there will be 3193400. Particularly hard hit will be high schools whose capacity must double in the next 12 years to take care of the large crop of World War II babies.
