Governor Gibbons opposes Southern Nevada Water Authority pipeline

February 27, 2008 · Print This Article

On Tuesday, Gibbons told the Fallon Rotary Club that the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which has proposed a multibillion-dollar pipeline to eastern Nevada to supply Las Vegas with a backup source of drinking water, should instead build a desalination plant in California and trade that plant’s water for some of California’s allocation

of the Colorado River, according to the Lahontan Valley News.

The world has just turned upside down…although the SNWA pipeline plan reeks of ecological disaster by sucking water from eastern Nevada auquifers, little did I suspect that a politician might actually propose a plan that seems to have merit.
