What the plans would be if we had a critical shortage of water. They have done work on this in house and have hired consultants and the consultants have given them reports. Do a freedom of information request for those documents. They aren't going to do research for you but they can be required to give you copies of a lot of what they have. Plan to pay them for making you copies. Don't just do it to be a nuisance and waste their time. When you find out the facts, if you aren't satisfied they are taking the right approach, then what is the right approach? Maybe that's a bigger project than you. Get your community to help by hiring your own consultant to assist.
Or just make a bunch of noise, point fingers at everyone and have people give you little respect.
