It’s baaack: Zombie water project called Cadiz
Everyone’s favorite zombie water project is baaaack… but there’s a move afoot to lay it to rest for good with a new state law, AB 1000.
The Cadiz water project would pump 50,000 annual acre-feet of water from an ancient aquifer beneath Mojave Trails National Monument and sell it to Southern California suburbs. The Sierra Club has been fighting this plan since the 1990s when Cadiz Inc. introduced the idea of pumping water out of the desert and selling it to local water agencies.
