I read the same article, but with what I got out of it it's almost like we read an entirely different version. I was never under the impression that the aquifier would ever replace Willard Bay. From my understanding these aquifiers would only collect water during runoff and still it wouldn't be taking all of the water during the runoff period. I also understand that these aquifiers have been used for quite sometime already.
If you want to be concerned whether or not Willard is going to have a enough water we all need to be much more aware of the amount of water we use and how we use it on a personal level. Do you shut the water off when you wash your hands? Do you shut off the shower when you soap up? These are simple things that don't seem like a big deal but when you are talking about 10's of thousands of people it certainly makes a difference. And then there are the golf courses, do we really need one on each corner like a gas station? I better stop right here about golf courses.
I think someone mentioned something about the "big picture". The bottom line is water is for staying alive, not fishing. I would much rather have water to drink and grow crops to survive than to have water for fishing.
