Stop Owens Valley Two and SAVE the Big Horn Sheep and Desert Tortoises that are threatened by this water grab by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Severely Flawed Environmental Report Puts Desert At Risk.
Conservation groups warn water project may devastate wildlife and National Park Environmentalists warn that state and federal agencies in California are fast-tracking a controversial proposal to drain up to 652 billion gallons of water from an aquifer that supports the fragile desert ecosystems of Mojave National Preserve and at least four nearby wilderness areas. The project is likely to affect a wide variety of desert plants and animals, including desert bighorn sheep and threatened desert tortoise. In addition, the proposed project could dry out the moist beds of two large “dry” lakes, creating a dust bowl effect several times worse than that at Owens Lake.
