Trump administration green-lights company's plan to pipe water from Mojave Desert to cities (Desert Sun)
Desert SunOctober 16th, 2017 5:26 pm "State officials are now in a position to have a strong voice on the issue, and the federal government’s announcement on the pipeline doesn’t mean the project is cleared to move ahead", said Frazier Haney, conservation director of the Mojave Desert Land Trust, which opposes the project.
“This may be an illusion that they’re close to building their project, but they still have some significant challenges to deal with,” Haney said.
Haney said while it’s not surprising that the Trump administration has sought to roll back environmental protections, he finds it troubling that the administration seems to have focused on helping Cadiz."
