I RELOCATED To LAS UEGAS, NEVARA IN SEPTEMBER 1968 ON A U.S.ARMY RECRUITING ASSIGNMENT . AFTER ARRIVING HERE I VISITED THE CLARK County OFFICES To GET A MAP OF CLARK County my RECRUITING AREA BEING FROM CALIFORNIA I Ask WHY NEVARA HAD So MUCH VACANT LAND ? I WAS SHOWN A NEVADA STATE MAP, THE AGENT SHOWED mk THREE WATER RESOURCES IN THE STATE, ONE IN THE NORTH, AND two INTHE SOUTHERN FREA. I WAS TOLD THE U.S. GOURRNMENT OWNED 85% of NEUADAS LAND BECAUSE OF THE LACKOF WATER RESOURCES. SINCE 1968 I HAVE WATCHED MANY MORE NEW CASINOS BEING Build, ALONE with GOLF COURSES MANY with HUGE WATER DISPLAYS LAKES, ECT, BuiLDING HAS EXPANDED THREE OR FOR Times. MORE AND MORE LANDS ARE BEING RELEASED EVERY YEAR For THE BUILDING of New Homes!! THE WATER SITUTATION HAS Not CHANGED Some of our Smaller Towns UP NORTH HAVE BEEN UNDER WATER RESTRICTIONS FOR moes THAN Two YEARS !! 2 WHEN Doss IT STOP ?? UNDER WHAT AUTHORITY DOES THE FEDERAL Governments BUREAU of LAND MANAGEMENT RECASE WHEN THERE AS NOT ADAQUATE WASER RESOURCES to Support THE LAND ?
