Moses traveled far to find a well
He smote the rock in a distant dell
We treasure water as much today,
But we find water in a skillful way.
May we face another exodus from semi-arid states
If water does not come at reasonable rates?
Drought conditions may be quite severe
If effects of global warming should soon appear.
Limited aquifer recharge from rain or snow
May lead to subsequent scarcity of water and woe
If human use and water associated action
Don’t balance the recharge and discharge faction.
A water budget program in a semi-arid land
Needs management that is of a restricted brand
Irrigation from wells for crops has been a blessing
But declining ground-water levels breeds lessening.
Well water is desirable because of its useful location
And the aquifer is pleased to offer modest inspiration.
The proud pump beckons water from round about
And the aquifer is recharged after each drought.
