Sides Gear Up for New Fight Against Snake Valley Pipeline - Salt Lake Tribune
Ranchers, county governments, conservation groups and the Goshute tribe are crafting protests against a Nevada water utility's new applications to pump Snake Valley water to Las Vegas, a conservation group said. The Great Basin Water Network, a coalition of groups in Utah and Nevada, has scheduled workshops to teach others how to protest, too. The protest periods for more than 130 applications to drill wells, including nine in Snake Valley, end April 16 and April 30. Protests are allowed because a January ruling from the Nevada Supreme Court struck down a top Silver State water official's approval of rights the Southern Nevada Water Authority secured two decades ago.
