Water, Eastern Montana’s Life Blood
There is an interesting story in the Gazette about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/03/21/news/state/20-cbm.txt">problems of re-injecting Coal bed Methane water</a>.

The solution? The Wyoming Governor wants to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/02/14/news/wyoming/30-pipeline.txt">pipe the contaminated water</a> to a different river that doesn't flow into Montana.
