I am sending you an alternative to the sucking dry Snake Valley aquifer. This happened to Owens Valley, California in the Bishop area, by pumping all the water to Los Angeles. It is very well known what happened to all the water in Owens Valley. It is about 230 miles to the Pacific Ocean in California from Las Vegas, Nevada. About 280 miles to Snake Valley. I do not think you could drain the Pacific Ocean, but they will drain Sanke Valley, if you let them take the water from there. This would solve all the water problems Las Vegas has, plus they would have extra water for all the other dry areas. There is no excuse not to use the water from the Pacific Ocean with today's technology. If they can stop the irrigation water to the farmers in Central California, because of a small fish, I think they should be able to stop the draining of the water from Skull Valley, because of the environmental damage it would cause for ever, in that area.
