| Description |
Local farmers believe that the flow of Sinking Creek in north-central Lincoln County has drastically decreased over the past 15 years. The decreasing flow of springs and creek water and declining lake levels is decreasing livestock drinking supplies and grass yields of naturally irrigated pasture in bottom lands. Ranchers with vested rights and claims to the surface water believe that ground water pumpage from large irrigation wells is causing the problem. |
