The Haverstraw Desalination Plant - More than Meets the Eye

How is the Haverstraw desalination plant related to the United Nations program of Agenda 21 (known in the United States as "Smart Growth" or "Sustainable Development"?)

United Nations Agenda 21, a global agreement signed by George H Walker Bush, never ratified by the Senate, and implemented by President Clinton through the creation of the President's Council for Sustainable Development in the early 1990s (creating what is known as "soft law") is all about control of land and resources, not about saving the environment, as some claim.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, the former Executive Director of HUD, and one of the original members of the President's Council for Sustainable Development is implementing this UN initiative on the State level under his program called "The New NY".  Governor Cuomo fully supports the building of the Haverstraw desalination plant, even though over 20,000 local citizens are opposing it.

UN Agenda 21 has been implemented since the early 1990s and is a violation of both the 5th and 10th amendments to the US Constitution.  It is being fully implemented in Rockland County and affects private property rights.  Both the Towns of Clarkstown and Orangetown are members of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, the organization responsible for implementing Agenda 21 on a local level, a United Nations organization.  The County of Rockland and all five Towns are implementing this agenda through the creation of their Comprehensive Plan which is costing the taxpayers of Rockland County millions of dollars.

The building of the desalination plant in Haverstraw (in an area that receives 40-50 inches of rain a year) is a perfect example of this.  Desalination plants are usually built in areas that are dry and receive very little rain.

UN Agenda 21 says, Chapter 18.12(j) states:

All States, according to their capacity and available resources, and through bilateral or multilateral cooperation, including the United Nations and other relevant organizations as appropriate, could implement the following activities to improve integrated water resources management: {NOTICE: It says resources "MANAGEMENT"}

... (j) Development of new and alternative sources of water-supply such as seawater desalination, artificial groundwater recharge, use of marginal-quality water, waste-water reuse and water recycling...
