May I begin to say that the Las Vegas Metropoliton area has no right to more water, because the area should not be there in the first place. Throughout westward expansion it is easily observed that settlements, towns, and cities were established in regions and places that could support such settlements. Las Vegas continues to go against the grain of which mother nature has intended. That dust bowl is not intended to gulp the water it does, nor support the growing population. I must also mention that Las Vegas residents need to become more educated on their water consumption and preservation practices. Let the Las Vegas area spend less money on education than the billions required for the pipeline. As the Great Basin and the west desert of Utah are already dry, I cannot imagine the reprecussions of draining the water table underneath. Please do not allow this to happen, as we do not want to discover problems with our state, while Las Vegas builds more and more golf courses, fountains, and ponds.
