sortagreen, i agree. Generalizations like that suck big time sometimes. Sounds you have more expertise and experience in the area than the one who said that. I've known plenty of people with bores who had no problems with them too. Perth is one urban area that comes to mind.
Perth's water worries: how one of the driest cities is fighting climate change
From locating leaky pipes with acoustic listening to reusing wastewater, Western Australia’s capital is using technology to bridge the water gap

Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is not only one of the most isolated cities in the world, it is also becoming one of the driest in Australia.
I'd think this would be as big a problem in America too.
Declining groundwater is a big problem for Australia
The Drum By Derek Eamus

Many streams and rivers are supported by the availability of groundwater.

Groundwater is extensively used right across the Australian continent, which is why we should take very seriously a new study which says supplies are on the decline, writes Derek Eamus.
[...]
About 40 per cent of the world's population live in arid and semi-arid regions where groundwater is vital for human consumption but also for the maintenance of ecosystem health. It is not widely understood that vegetation and many streams and rivers are supported by the availability of groundwater, either as discharge into streams and rivers or through groundwater uptake by plant roots directly.
Australia is of course a very dry country so it is no surprise to find that groundwater is extensively used right across the continent. Perth relies heavily on the Gnangara Mound aquifer for its water supply, but the water table has been dropping for the past 40 years or more because of reduced rainfall, increased extraction, and probably because of decreased recharge arising from vegetation water-use.
