The Water Management Board has set certain guidelines to consider water use for the Keystone XL pipeline. The board is hearing one legal consideration at a time for each of three rivers individually.
On this fourth day of hearings, testimony still centers on the first consideration, water quantity and availability.
However, when a witness is not available to come back for each of the considerations, he or she can be heard out of turn and address such topics as public good and beneficial use.
Wednesday morning started with one such witness.
