How can we be talking about emergency use and agricultural use at the same time? How could anyone draw enough water for agricultural use from these spigots? If water is so plentiful in Puna (It is. It falls from the sky in large, even excessive amounts) then someone who must rely on these spigots in desperation is truly and embarrassingly desperate. True, there are some people who would have trouble coping without this source of water but there will always be someone in that situation. Responsible public policy should not make the state or county codependent with such people.
