Threatens to suck Silver Springs dry.
The other day we lost our water pump
motor, two days without water?
Florida, how about a life time with no
more water!
I believe that our water supply (Aquifer)
is now far too over taxed as it is thanks to our Water Management Districts, let alone another
out of state person taking so much more.
The
last thing Silver Springs needs is an additional, dramatic loss of the
groundwater that feeds it.
That is what Adena Ranch (a cattle feeding
and slaughterhouse operation) wants; and the St. Johns River Water Management
District is preparing to give.
Adena Ranch is asking for a permit to
withdraw 13.2 million gallons of water per day for 30,000 cattle and a slaughter
house -- more water than the daily consumption of the entire City of Ocala,
from the aquifer that sustains Florida's most beloved, iconic springs. Please
add your name to the list of Floridians who will not sit idly by while the
water management district threatens to suck Silver Springs dry.
Water Management Districts are not in the
habit of denying consumptive use permits believe me, as a Floridian I know this
first hand!

Florida's unique springs.
