Supreme Court rules government can control pumping to protect Devil's Hole pupfish
In a unanimous decision the Supreme Court upheld federal authority to regulate groundwater pumping around Death Valley's Devil's Hole, a critical move that clashes with Western state interests seeking broader water right control. The pupfish, less than an inch long and endemic to a single 200 foot pool, faces extinction as water levels rise and fall. pumping by nearby ranchers since 1968 altered the pool, nearly exposing its algae food source. The ruling reins in Cappacarts irrigation withdrawals, grounding the case in Truman era protections that designated Devil's Hole as part of Death Valley National Monument.
