What NV’s Highest Court Said About Water Could Change Development
Have you ever driven past Coyote Springs, that never-built development 45 minutes into the desert? They’ve been tied up in legal battles over water for 20 years. And last week, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a ruling with major implications for Coyote Springs, but more importantly, for how our state uses water. Environmental reporter Daniel Rothberg just wrote about it for the Nevada Independent, and sits down with co-host Dayvid Figler to break it all down. It’s wonky, but Daniel makes it easy to understand — and we promise you’ll be the smartest person at the dinner table this weekend.
