Palouse basin aquifer
Dear
Visionaries:
In
light of the recent news about the Naylor Farm application for water rights from
the Palouse basin aquifer I would like to point your attention to a legal
advertisement that ran in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News on Friday November 22,
2002. http://www.dnews.com/class/fri/244.htm
(text is included below as well)
It seems WSU will drill to a depth of 1000
feet in order to pump around 2,500 gallons per minute. (3,600,000 gallons per
day or 1.3 billion gallons per year). The magnitude of this
amount of water is not that far off from the Naylor Farm request and yet I have
not heard anything from area groups who are trying to protect our
groundwater. The recent Groundwater Forum brought our attention to the
problem Pullman has with the declining water table, now it is evident that WSU
will only add to this problem.
I
would hope that PBAC as well as the cities of Moscow and Pullman and Latah
and Whitman County question this new drilling program to the degree they have
questioned the Naylor Farm application.
Thanks,
Chris
