Public Input Needed to Stop $15 billion SNWA Pipeline from Harming Nevada Ecosystems (tags)
The SNWA's proposed $15 billion dollar pipeline from northern Nevada to Las Vegas needs to be stopped before the irreverible damage is done to sensitive desert ecosystems and the many diverse communities that depend upon these aquifers for thier lives and cultures. IF this pipeline goes through, SNWA General Manager Pat Mulroy may likely be found to be complicit with cultural genocide against the Paiute and Goshute Nations by stealing water from beneath their feet and selling it to her developer friends like Harvey Whittemore, mega-developer of Coyote Springs on U.S. 93 north.
