Right after Forrest told the reporter that looking just at plunging water levels at well sites tends to portray a sense of a failing system that is way out of proportion, Forrest says, "It's awfully hard sometimes to put your finger on exactly what's going on underground."

In other words, Forrest says that while he doesn't know what's going on in the aquifer, he knows that the plunging water levels in the wells "tends to portray a sense of a failing system that is way out of proportion."

This is silly.
