‘Development at all costs’?: Appeal filed against Utah-Nevada groundwater pipeline
What some see as a water grab for a fast-growing metro in Utah could have implications for the groundwater flows that support Nevada’s only national park and surrounding farm land. On Wednesday, a broad coalition of farmers, county and city governments and environmentalists filed an appeal to the Bureau of Land Management after it approved permits for a pipeline that would contribute to the drain of aquifers in the name of growth in Iron County, Utah, which includes Cedar City. … Advocates say, without a doubt, that tapping those water sources will draw down aquifers near Great Basin National Park in Baker and into western Utah.
