Water Rights

Published February 2, 2010 at 5:00 AM PST

The Nevada Supreme Court has killed the applications lodged more than 20 years ago by the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the Las Vegas Valley Water District. The claims were to water in rural Nevada but now the authority may have to back and start the whole application process again. We talk with the attorney who has fought on behalf of White Pine County and its residents to stymie the plan to build a $3.5 billion pipeline from the state's northeast to Las Vegas.
