Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.

Piping the canals will reduce the amount of water going into our ground water. There are to many wells going dry.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.
ReplyThe canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.
ReplyGet it done, it's way past time.
ReplyCommission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.
