As quoted in the market news:
Tom Whitmer, manager of regional strategic planning and tribal liaison for ADWR, says well “draw down” is a realistic concern for those with wells in the vicinity of a major water withdrawing operation, and depending on the amount of water to be used in potash mining operations, may come into play in the Holbrook Basin. A group of landowners from River Meadows, located about nine miles east of Petrified Forest National Park south of Highway 180, is concerned about the potential effects of nearby mining operations on their community well.
