Keeping the tap running: Lawmakers confront declining groundwater In a state known for its bounty of water, Minnesota policymakers have traditionally wrangled more over the quality rather than the quantity of its lakes, streams and aquifers. But that has changed substantially in recent years, according to Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL-South St. Paul). “You’re seeing the political demands of people needing water,” Hansen said. “These are debates that we didn’t think we’d be having in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes. There’s going to be more of them as demand outstrips supply.”
