The second Document written by Mr. Enderlin is a critique of the hydrology report submitted by Six Sigma Ranch. His letter points out that using data provided by six sigma's hydrologist using the flow rates tested Well will not recharge fast enough and this Vineyard will use 98% of the water recharge leaving the other 2% for the rest of the neighbors.

Webmistress Note: I wanted to put more resources on this page. Since I haven't and there are other organizations with a primary focus on ground water and water resources. I will link to them. Open Space Water Resource Protection and Land Use Foundation. www.OwlFoundation.net is my favorite. It is very informative. I spoke with the director at length. Their website is full of information on this topic.

Other water related websites are at the Links page.
