A word from the OSU legal dept…
• The views on this important issue are those of Dr. Halihan, not Oklahoma State University or its school of geology
• Through in-depth research, Dr. Halihan provides vital scientific data that is helping with the study of seismic activity in our region
• We would hope this research will further the study and conversation, informing key players and decision-makers
• As a land-grant university, Oklahoma State University has an obligation to conduct research and share that research with society
• We welcome your thoughts and views on this issue

Oklahoma City plans 29-mile water pipeline to Lake Stanley Draper to help mitigate droughtTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS February 16, 2015
§ City officials say they don't know the overall cost of the project. They say 75 percent has been completed for about $67 million.
§ A city engineer says the pipeline will ease demands on Lake Hefner and Lake Overholser. He said officials will be able to better manage current and future droughts.
