Ground water almost everywhere faces yin and yang
Where opposing but complementary principles hang
Where good conditions exist there may be bad
And where bad conditions exist some good may be had.
Convenience but poor yields characterize wells on hills
Better yields in valleys face inconvenience still
Waste sites on hills may contaminate nearby wells
Yet creeks may be contaminated by wastes in dells.
Contrariness in ground water management is faced
Because both desirable and undesirable conditions are based
Win-win or perfect conditions are not expected
But useful ground-water results should be respected.
We are optimistic about long-range sustainability
Because the water table has seasonal rechargeability
Yin and yang are parts of ground-water evaluation
Striving for ground-water benefits is a proclamation.
