Or like there is no long term sustainable planing for not just ground water put a lot of things like infrastructure projects which lead to increased ground water usage. And like who has enough money (or political "friends") just gets what they want with at most paying a bit more, even through sometimes the answer should be no, no matter how much is payed. Because what point is accepting a lot of money for selling something you (as a entity like a city) needs to survive. If that person was willing to pay that much for it you likely won't be able to buy it affordable some where else when you need it.
