I've always been concerned with using ground water, and the dumb idea of growing veggies in a dry state (CA). 1 ft per year there...?!
I don't know where they got the 5 mm per year for NYC, as the maps provided show about 2 mm per year. (Unless added to the 3 mm per year sea level rise.) Glad I'm living on a cliff high above the Sound....
