CORRECTION TO PII PAASH WATER STORY ON AUG. 15

EDS: Clients who used a Cronkite News story slugged BC-Gila River-Water  that moved Monday, Aug. 15, under a LAVEEN dateline, are asked to use the following correction. A corrected version of the story has been posted here.

LAVEEN – An Aug. 15 Cronkite News story about the use of reclaimed water on the Gila River Indian Community mischaracterized the type of water being traded by the Gila River Indian Community. The GRIC is trading Central Arizona Project water from the Colorado River. In addition, a previous version incorrectly stated that salt ions in reclaimed water can spread disease. Heavy concentration of salt in reclaimed water can be damaging to wildlife and plants, studies have shown.
