At least we are in good hands to find a solution! Our politicians and elected officials are not bias or corrupt in anyway

I hate to tell you this, but everything is a polical issue in 2021. Policy=money. We all need to realize this.
It is 100% a political issue and this article is fear porn. Environmentalists hate Exxon Mobil and chemical, oil and gas etc. There just happens to be a bill up, from some Democrat big business hating "they don't do enough ($$$) for the community" libs regarding ground water to be heard in the year's legislative session. This is really about nut job tree hugger hippies who exploit black communities by pedaling fear porn and victimhood ("environmental racism") to stick it to the fossil fuels industry. They bring a version of this bill every year. They are just using their lib/socialist/tree hugger friends in the media to pedal their fear and electric cars/windmills/solar panel farm agenda. That's it. Period. Got to drum up the animosity and ire to pass that bill in a month or so.

Somewhat, but it's not quite that simple. Aquifers have aquifer recharge zones, which usually are not located directly above the aquifer. Say for examle, the aquifer recharge zone for Baton Rouge's water supply is located in Southern Mississippi. The map below shows areas where a lot of the rice fields and major industrial users are located in low recharge zones. So they're sucking a lot of water out and not putting any back in to the usable system. It also accelerates salt water intrusion in to the aquifer systems
This. You are right on the money. Only the feeble minded think you can pump water from deep underground, pour it on top of the ground and then it just drains back in the aquifers.

Salt water would be contaminating my wells is Welsh. They are monitored.
This is bullshite propaganda to meter all water consumption like they do in CA and AR.

Ya, I did. What the frick does it have to do with what I said?
There is *always* a financial interest behind regulation. Always.
If you think otherwise you're dumber than I took you for.
ETA: I'm not saying there shouldn't be some sort of regulation, but you're simplistic "HERP DERP RIGHT WING CORPORATE SHILLS" take on this is just simply stupid and naive.
It's hilarious how people think no liberal causes or groups have financial interests behind them.
Example: Keystone XL pipeline halted. Environment saved, right? The righteous, morally superior libs won, right? Oh, wait. Warren Buffet, from Nebraska, a great friend of Bill Gates and HUGE contributor to Biden's campaign bought BASF railroad not long before the election.
His guy Biden gets elected. Immediately shuts down construction of Keystone pipeline, most of which already exists and only a shorter section remained to build from Alberta, Canada to.... ::drum roll:: Nebraska! Now, that tar sands oil is going to be shipped by railroad, which railroad companies charge a shitload of money to ship and it's a much more hazardous/dangerous, less environmentally friendly way to ship that oil.
Environmentalists think they got a huge win but all they did was make a billionaire puppeteer with influence over Democrat politicians even more money and endangered the environment and communities much more than the Keystone Pipeline did.

We have multiple major rivers and lakes all over this state. We should never be running out of water.
Maybe the wells might run dry, but we have plenty of other water sources that can take its place.

OK. So potable water availability is a partisan issue. Let's go with that.
Which side wants to protect it through government oversight and which side wants people who are paid by industrial and agricultural groups deciding who gets to use how much of it?
The side that controls the narrative is the one that wants to spend money. Money is power. This isn’t difficult

I read somewhere that the wells in the Baton Rouge Exxon refinery produce/use more water than all of the rest of the parish in its entirety and that this is a contributing factor to salt water intrusion in the aquifer.
US Geological Survey (USGS) has studied this and declared (in peer reviewed, published documents) that industrial use of the aquifer water in BR is preventing faster salt water intrusion. The salt water intrusion is occurring naturally and would be more accelerated if industrial wells and other stripper wells drilled in strategic locations around metro BR were not redirecting the pull of the water. Industry isn't accelerating the salt water intrusion, their use is slowing it. The science proves it. However, this is completely ignored by the environmentalists, SJWs and their friends in the media, like NPR, The Advocate, Associated Press etc.

The "good" news is we can do A LOT with simple conservation efforts. Which won't happen because conservation doesn't advance Leftist goals, and Republicans are dismiss the problem because of all of the other fake "crises" we've been sold for decades.

Sure if you can wait 10-100+ years for the water pumped to the surface to make it back to the aquifer, and be willing to lose runoff, evaporation, etc. Anywhere you have highly concentrated ground water pumping is going to suffer a net loss in the aquifer over time. It is being pumped MUCH faster than it can be replenished.

On the ground != In the ground
Most will be runoff or evaporate.
