Things change...get over it...We've been measuring this stuff for years...

What the hell is a 5 year study going to do?? Oh, yeh...provide hefty paychecks in exchange for a "damage report".

"Plans call for monitoring stations to be established in north-central Nevada and southern Nevada."

Nevada is The Great Basin. We have rivers (Humboldt) that stop in the middle of the state in what are called "sinks". Others end in lakes (Trukee, Walker). There is no outlet to the sea.

Southern Nevada Water District plans a $2 billion water pipeline from north-central Nevada aquifers to the south. It bought up water rights to entire desert valleys because there is water underground. The Las Vegas metropolitan area needs more than the Colorado River can supply.

Tapping the northern aquifers is a big deal to enviro whackos.
