Camp Oppose Water Use By Camp Pleasanton
A Livermore and Pleasanton committee joins Alameda County Flood Control and Water District to study water shortage threats as Parks Air Force base redevelopment looms. W D Patterson of the district warns 30 000 troops using 9 000 000 gallons daily could deplete the valley aquifer, proposing a 12 to 14 mile link to Hetch Hetchy. Opponents note area farmers consume about 260 000 000 gallons daily making base use seem small by comparison.
