Midwest Producer
The Midwest Producer ran a story on water and the Republcian River Basin. The story extensively quotes WaterClaim. It was a well done article.
There are two points I would like to clarify though.
1. The draft legislation we are proposing creates not combine the existing agencies into one office as the article implies. Instead the bill takes the interested parties from the area and gets them together and lets this group quantify the responsibility that each agency has. The DNR is trying to impose the DNRs version on the NRDs now but the bill says it is better to have a neutral party do it.
2. WaterClaim is not advocating that the State pay 100%. While we believe they should, we don’t think it is politically possible so we are advocating a sharing of the expense.
Follow the draft of the water bill on the WaterClaim main site.
