Valley Water District Cites Reason for Safeguarding Watershed Lands
The San Jose Mercury News Wednesday, February 15 issue features an
editorial opinion written by Larry Wilson, chairman of the Santa Clara Valley
Water District board of directors. Wilson's article, entitled Global
warming threatens smug attitude about water supply offers an intelligent
commentary about the importance of protecting the county's groundwater basins
and watersheds, reservoirs, pipelines, groundwater recharge ponds, and other
water-related sources so that the valley will have water available for its
citizens in years to come.
NAIL supports this rational thinking and so continues to oppose San Jose Water
Company's plan to log between 40 and 60 percent of the mature redwood and
Douglas fir trees from the richly forested and sloped watershed lands
surrounding Lexington Reservoir. To read Larry Wilson's editorial, please go
