Print View From: Veronica Egan To: Date: Wednesday - September 30, 2009 7:45 AM Subject: Snake Valley waterplan In the face of increased desertification in the American Southwest due to global warming, the mining of groundwater in the Snake Valley to facilitate further expansion of an already dangerously over built city 300 miles distant is foolhardy. We cannot simply shuffle our precious freshwater resources around to satisfy unsustainable development, especially in our extremely arid environment. We urge rejection of this dangerous plan by all parties. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
