2021-03-03 Upper Verde River threatened by pumping pipeline
Description
Groundwater pumping and the proposed importation of Big Chino groundwater threaten our Prescott-region groundwater supply and the perennial flow of the upper Verde River.
Essentially our entire water supply is pumped from the relatively small groundwater basin underlying our communities. Groundwater demand substantially exceeds the resupply; and rapid development of new housing intensifies the demand.
