New research indicates that California's Central Valley harbors three times more groundwater than previously estimated, but challenges to using it include pumping costs, ground subsidence and possible contamination from fracking and other oil and gas activities.

Did they mention that that water is being pumped out faster than it's being replenished? Once the ground subsides that storage space is lost.
