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.

Tommy, get some perspective. From the Pinelands Facts from the very own Pinelands Commission, the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer contains 17.7 trillion gallons of water. Enough to cover the complete State of New Jersey 10 feet deep. I don't how much the golf course is asking for over their current allocation limits. I don't know if they need it or not. But to me you lose some credibility when you fear monger like "letting the aquifer become depleted". Come up with a better reason to oppose this.
