>LAND WITHOUT WATER:
>The Impact of Water Removal on Spur Cross & Seven Springs by John Gunn
>Supervisor and Biologist of Spur Cross
>
>DATE:        Wednesday, July 20, 2005
>
>TIME:        7:00 p.m.
>
>LOCATION:    Harris Bank-Community Room
>          SE corner of Scottsdale Road and Carefree Highway
>
>John Gunn, the newly appointed Supervisor and Biologist of Spur Cross,
>will address the effects of commercial water removal from Seven Springs
>on the flora and fauna of Spur Cross, as well as the water basin of Cave
>Creek.
>
>Given that many Cave Creek homeowners have wells, the privatization of
>water at Seven Springs (whereby water is trucked out by a private
>company and sold as bottled spring water) should be a grave concern to
>the community. The declining availability of water will likely reduce
>the area's beloved wildlife populations as well.
>
>John is alarmed by how water removal from Seven Springs has already
>effected the Spur Cross system he works to preserve. His presentation
>will reveal the damage that has been done to the flora and fauna of Spur
>Cross. He has gathered information about how much water is being removed
>and the anticipated impact on the water table at Seven Springs and Cave
>Creek.
>
>As the Supervisor of Spur Cross, John's objectives are to preserve the
>ecosystem while monitoring and assisting public enjoyment.  He also
>works to preserve the area's archaeological remnants.
>
>John graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in biology, and
>has completed advanced courses in natural resource management. He has
>worked in Arizona for his entire professional career. He is an avid
>outdoorsman, and leads many hikes and educational activities at Spur
>Cross.
>
>The public is invited to attend and to participate in a discussion
>following the presentations.
