Phantsi kwesivumelwano esitsha neHays County, ukubekwa kweliso lomgangatho wamanzi eJacob's Well kuza kuqalisa kwakhona. Ukubekwa kweliso lomgangatho wamanzi eJacob's Well kuye kwamiswa kunyaka ophelileyo njengoko imali iphelile.
UMqolomba wokudada odumileyo waseHill Country kufutshane neWimberley uvote kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba unike i-$34,500 ukuze uyilandele rhoqo kude kube nguSeptemba 2025.
Ukususela ngo-2005 ukuya ku-2023, i-USGS iqokelele idatha yobushushu bamanzi; Ukuguquguquka kwamanzi, inani lamasuntswana emanzini; kunye nokuhanjiswa kwamanzi okuthe ngqo, umlinganiselo onokubonisa ungcoliseko ngokulandelela amanqanaba eekhompawundi emanzini.
UKomishinala uLon Shell uthe i-arhente karhulumente yazise isithili ukuba inkxaso-mali yale projekthi ayizukuvuselelwa, kwaye ulwalathiso lwaphela kunyaka ophelileyo.
UShell uxelele abakhomishinala ukuba intwasahlobo “ibisemngciphekweni kangangeminyaka eliqela,” ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha. Bavote ngazwi linye ukuvuma ulwabiwo-mali. Phantsi kwesivumelwano, i-USGS iza kuxhasa i-$32,800 kule projekthi ukuya kuthi ga ngo-Okthobha olandelayo.
Kuza kongezwa nesixhobo esitsha sokuvavanya amanqanaba e-nitrate; Esi sondlo sinokubangela ukuqhakaza kwe-algal kunye nezinye iingxaki zomgangatho wamanzi.
I-Jacob's Well ivela kwi-Trinity Aquifer, indawo eyinkimbinkimbi yamanzi angaphantsi komhlaba ehlala kwindawo enkulu ye-Central Texas kwaye ingumthombo obalulekileyo wamanzi okusela. Nangona le ntwasahlobo yaziwa ngokuba yindawo yayo yokudada edumileyo, iingcali zithi ikwaluphawu lwempilo yamanzi angaphantsi komhlaba. Phantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo, ikhupha amawaka eegaloni zamanzi ngosuku kwaye igcinwa kubushushu obungaguqukiyo be-68 degrees.
Intwasahlobo ibingavumelekanga ukudada ukusukela ngo-2022 ngenxa yamanqanaba amanzi aphantsi, kwaye kunyaka ophelileyo yayeka ukuqubha ngokupheleleyo ukususela ekupheleni kukaJuni ukuya ku-Okthobha.
Kwixwebhu elichaza isicwangciso sokubeka esweni, i-USGS ibize uMthombo kaJacob ngokuthi “ngumthombo obalulekileyo wemithombo yamanzi onempembelelo enkulu kwimpilo iyonke yale ndawo.”
“IJacob's Well isengozini yoxinzelelo oluqhubekayo oluvela ekusetyenzisweni kakhulu kwamanzi angaphantsi komhlaba, uphuhliso olukhulayo kunye nembalela rhoqo,” itshilo le arhente, yongeza ukuba idatha eqhubekayo yexesha langempela iya kubonelela ngolwazi malunga nempilo yamanzi angaphantsi komhlaba kwiTrinity Aquifer kunye neCypress Creek.
