Last week, business leaders left the M Resort’s ballroom talking about water. They were there for the annual economic forecast called, Perspective.
And they got some hard truth. We’re in a pickle.
Over the next few months, water overseers for seven states will figure out how to make drastic cuts to water use. Some 2 to 4 million acre feet, as much as 20% of the current use.
Those business leaders wanted answers. Even if those cutbacks are made, what if the drought remains? What if the skies don’t produce enough snow and rain to replenish the river?
How should Southern Nevada businesses move forward?
