SALT LAKE CITY -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has joined hundreds to file a protest with the state of Nevada over a proposal to pump and pipe groundwater from the Snake Valley and surrounding areas to Las Vegas.
According to The Salt Lake Tribune, the Church protests cover wells proposed for Spring Valley, where it operates the Cleveland and Rogers ranches and three associated grazing permits.
A spokesman for the Church says the water rights are critical to the overall operation of the livestock program.
