Image Description: | Baker, Nevada - A spring that went dry because of excessive ground water pumping nearby. Seventeen wild horses died here in 2001 when the spring dried up. Nevada ranchers are opposing the Southern Nevada Water Authority's plan to build a 300-mile pipeline to pump billions of gallons of water annually to Las Vegas. They fear the removal of so much water from their valleys would dry up other springs and make ranching impossible. |
