FILE - In this Dec. 22, 2015, file photo, Chris White, general manager of the Central California Irrigation District, explains the expense of sinking land near Dos Palos, Calif. Four years of drought and heavy reliance on pumping of groundwater have made the land sink faster than ever up and down the Central Valley, requiring repairs to infrastructure that experts say are costing billions of dollars. Land in the Central Valley is sinking so much from over pumping of groundwater that it's now starting to damage the state's vital north-south water project, state officials say.
