Ngaphantsi kwesivumelwano esitsha kunye neHays County, ukujonga umgangatho wamanzi kwiqula likaYakobi kuya kuqalisa kwakhona. Ukujongwa komgangatho wamanzi kwiqula likaJacob kuye kwamiswa kunyaka ophelileyo njengoko inkxaso-mali ibiphelelwa.
Umqolomba wokuqubha welizwe lase-Hill kufutshane neWimberley uvote kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba anike i-34,500 yeedola zokuyibeka esweni ngokuqhubekayo ukuya kutsho ngoSeptemba ka-2025.
Ukususela kwi-2005 ukuya kwi-2023, i-USGS iqokelele idatha yokushisa kwamanzi; I-turbidity, inani lamasuntswana emanzini; Kunye ne-conductance ethile, umlinganiselo onokubonisa ukungcoliseka ngokulandelela amanqanaba eekhompawundi emanzini.
Umkomishinala uLon Shell uthe i-arhente yomdibaniso yazise idolophu ukuba inkxaso-mali yeprojekthi ayizukuphinda ihlaziywe, kwaye ukongamela kuphele kunyaka ophelileyo.
UShell uxelele iikomishinala ukuba intwasahlobo "isele ineminyaka emininzi isengozini," ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha. Bavote ngamxhelo-mnye ukuba baphumeze ulwabiwo. Ngaphantsi kwesivumelwano, i-USGS iya kufaka i-32,800 yeedola kwiprojekthi ngo-Okthobha ozayo.
Inzwa entsha nayo iya kongezwa ukujonga amanqanaba e-nitrate; Esi sondlo sinokubangela ukuqhakaza kwe-algal kunye nezinye iingxaki zomgangatho wamanzi.
Iqula likaYakobi livela kwi-Trinity Aquifer, ukwakheka kwamanzi aphantsi komhlaba antsonkothileyo ahlala ngaphezulu kweCentral Texas kwaye ngumthombo obalulekileyo wamanzi okusela. Ngelixa le ntlakohlaza isaziwa njengendawo yokuqubha edumileyo, iingcali zithi ikwangumqondiso wempilo yemithombo yamanzi. Ngaphantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo, ikhupha amawaka eegaloni zamanzi ngosuku kwaye igcinwe kwiqondo lokushisa elingaguqukiyo lama-68 degrees.
Intwasahlobo ibivaliwe ukuqubha ukusukela ngo-2022 ngenxa yamanqanaba aphantsi amanzi, kwaye kulo nyaka uphelileyo uyekile ukuhamba ngokupheleleyo ukusuka ngasekupheleni kukaJuni ukuya ku-Okthobha.
Kuxwebhu oluchaza isicwangciso sokubeka iliso, i-USGS yabiza iqula likaYakobi “njengomthombo obalulekileyo wobugcisa onempembelelo enkulu kwimpilo yonke yendawo yamanzi.”
"Iqula likaYakobi lisengozini yokuxinzezeleka rhoqo kukusetyenziswa kwamanzi aphantsi komhlaba, ukwandisa uphuhliso kunye nesomiso rhoqo," i-arhente yatsho, yongeza ukuba idatha eqhubekayo yexesha langempela iya kunika ulwazi malunga nempilo yamanzi aphantsi komhlaba kwi-Trinity Aquifer kunye neCypress Creek.
