153 Marjorie LanthierConservation in Las Vegas is the answer and should be a no-brainer. Shame on the Bureau of Land Management.
154 Pamela VovesThis plan will be devasting to the landscape, to the flora and fauna that depend upon this groundwater and the springs and waterways it feeds. Agriculture will also suffer and negatively impact local economies. Tourism to Las Vegas will also suffer as Americans, Canadians, and other nations become aware of this travesty. In this economic climate, most are cutting back on travel and other entertainment/leisure expenses. I question, as would most moral people, this heinous project.

157 L. Cameron Mosher, Ph.D.The problem in the desert west is that we are MINING the groundwater! If we continue to increase population AND want lawns, phreatofitic trees, swimming pools, and artificial lakes in cities like Las Vegas, and still want to have any rural life at all, and still provide downstream water for the lower basin states, we are living in a fantasy! The solution is to limit by law how we use the desert rainfall that refills the streams and aquifers instead of robbing it from one part to another. This whole deal is IMPOSSIBLE TO SUSTAIN!
158 Linda RadfordThis should not be allowed to happen!

161 Walter BarbuckA good reference for this fight is the peer reviewed article in the Sept 07 issue of the scientific journal "BioScience" by the lead author Dr James E Deacon - "Fueling Population Gowth in Las Vegas......"

167 AnonymousIts terrible and greedy. I guess when the area looks like the Sahara and we are all thirsty, people will take notice. It is shameful to distroy such a beautiful area so someone can water their lawn. It is a desert! Wake up!

171 John H. PilarskiAlthough I am not a resident of Nevada (actually Milwaukee, WI), I have visited the Great Basin National Park, areas along the way from Las Vegas, and surrounding communities (along highways 375, 318, 6, 50, and 93) a number of times and fully agree with the positions of the Great Basin Water Network.

173 Mickey SettlemireWhile not a resident of the great basis area, I feel this action will affect other parts of the country with their own water issues.

182 Stephanie SharpPlease explore and institute conservation methods prior to opening new drilling which would have potentially harmful effects on surrounding the environment, including animal habitat and rural communities.

189 Bernard P McEnany JrI have lived most of my nearly 60 years on the Wasatch Front and have seen air quality diminish since i was growing up in the 50 and 60s. If the pipeline does happen I certainly do not want to live downwind of any potentional Harry Reid Dustbowl . Worst case could be a disaster in the making for western Utah and the Wasatch Front as well.

191 AnonymousI disagree with putting the needs of one population over the needs of another. The Snake Valley is a stunningly beautiful area that does not need to be decimated so that Las Vegas can continue to grow. If Las Vegas needs more water, they need to find a way to get it without hurting rural Nevada/Utah.
192 AnonymousI am a former White Pine resident and I can tell you I am miffed by the actions of the SNWA. What gives them the right to confiscate water from the rural counties so that they can have fancy fountains and acres of grass. I have written several letters to Tracy Taylor (water engineer for Nevada) expressing my disappointment in. The next hearing is supposedly in two years as Mr. Taylor is currently on medical leave. I am donating $10.00 to help you in the legal fight. Good luck.
193 Aaron LittlefieldThe Great Basin is one of the greatest natural wonders in this country (not to mention the world). This livelihood, lifestyle, and vast frontier of the Great Basin must be protected at all costs. The lifeblood of the Great Basin is the water. Protection of the Great Basin starts with protecting the water from unstustainable desert urban growth.

195 Elroy J. GomesThe pipe line should come from the colombia river between Washington and Oregon, all that water down stream from the dam goes out to the ocean, route that water to leak mead and leak tahou

197 AnonymousI agree that the SNWA pipeline in Great Basin is a wasteful idea, that offers poor results.
