Narendra Mann: Flora cares about our water and our economy

Being a farmer and businessman, Heath Flora, candidate for State Assembly, believes in adding to our usable groundwater supply by resourcefully tapping aquifers without resorting to pumps. One way to accomplish this is by placing wells by aquifers (i.e. underground water in and around porous rocks) where there is pressure that can cause the capture of water. Once the groundwater is significantly tapped in any given area, flood irrigation can be used to return the water to the aquifers, recharging the groundwater. Heath Flora deeply cares about the environment and the economy as they each go hand in hand.

Narendra Mann, Modesto
