CalWild: Defend the "Heart" of the Mojave Desert from Damaging Water Extraction.

In the desert, water is life. And right now, one of the Mojave Desert’s largest fresh water springs is at risk. Cadiz, Inc. is attempting to advance a groundwater mining project that could drain water from the Cadiz Valley — threatening already imperiled wildlife and plants, Tribal Nations, and Mojave Trails National Monument and Mojave National Preserve. According to experts, the vast amount of lost water, 16 billion gallons/year, could have disastrous impacts on the Cadiz Valley, including Bonanza Spring, the largest fresh water spring in the southeastern Mojave Desert. For more than 30 years, Cadiz, Inc. has attempted to pump out and SELL Pleistocene-era groundwater extracted from an aquifer under the Cadiz Valley region for corporate profit. The U.S. Geological Survey and independent experts warn that the vast amount of lost groundwater could have disastrous impacts on the Cadiz Valley.
