OPINION – Cadiz, Inc., a Los Angeles based corporation that for 30 years has been targeting a Mojave Desert aquifer for pumping and profit has its way, 50,000 acre-feet (16 billion gallons) of groundwater would be pumped each year and exported for sale, desecrating our public lands in the process.

The benefits to California’s health would be enormous. The good news is that California is leading the way.
