"We would build this project if not another person moved into Southern Nevada. When you have 90% of your water coming from a lake and from a river that is as volatile and as so susceptible to climate change as the Colorado River is, and when you see the 100ft bathtub ring and you recognize that if the drought continues Hoover Dam could stop generating electricity in 2011, we lose our upper intake, that’s 40% of our water supply overnight, you have to protect 2 million people. "

- Pat Mulroy, General Manager Southern Nevada Water Authority, on why the Northeast Nevada water importation project must move ahead.
