..I will continue to follow up..several years ago I went to our city and state agencies, when the golf course decided to drill a new well..I went all the way to a Goergia well digger for info...I shared it with them..of course, with hands in so many pockets, it was a "fall deaf on ears moment"..at least the course cemented the 5 ponds, as we were losing water through the ground...

My letter to one of the authors..

Just a curious AZ citizen who finds your idea interesting. Several of us at our social network have been discussing your article..overall, it is the environmental impact, cost and oversight to prevent over runs.., and how to tackle the issue of the Continental Divide..just some of the comments within our debate..

Of course, we have naysayers..any proposal of this magnitude will surely have pushback..this pushback is often due to a lack of information. Congress, EPA..and any other Fed state agency who need to be petitioned..HR 3339..the more information the better..

AZ and the West cannot wait, desalination plant..pipe from Sea of Cortez, or raise the height of one of the dams..

Thank you for your article..hope to read more, as we surely do need to advance proposals..AZ and the Western states don't have time to waste.
