there was another article in the arizona azzwipe newspaper today, talking about the san pedro river. Which is a story all in itself. Lots of controversy over it. But in essence the story portrayed a developer wanting to build a 7000 house project and getting approval through the state for the "magical 100year water supply". On the other side a consortium of interests are spending big bucks to capture monsoon rain water to slowly release into the san pedro to stablilize flow. The interesting part to me was the mention for this stabilization project was the center for biological diversity working through the BLM. One of the arguments the developer was using is better him doing it than ordinary people putting in wells. It's the same ol problem, too many people moving in, too little water in an arid environment.
