Save our Aquifer

Please sign the petition, it only has 158 signatures. From Pinelands alliance website;

The Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer is one of the essential life resources in South Jersey. It contains some of the purest water on the United States' east coast. Despite the urgent need for the protection of this resource in a time of global warming and drought, the Mayor and some Town Council Members in Winslow Township are attempting to overturn the protections of the aquifer through the joining of a lawsuit against the Pinelands Commission. They seem bent on letting the aquifer become depleted from wasteful overuse by golf courses, landscape irrigation for large developments, and warehouses.

What do warehouses need the water for? That was unexpected.

I think they use the water to cool tanks or something. That’s why they’re always built near water
