No, it is not the human race they are fighting..
NASA and other federal agencies are using satellites that circle the Earth to help weed out a plant that's affecting water supplies in the U.S. west.
Experts estimate that one large tamarisk plant has the potential to absorb up to 200 gallons of water per day - that's twice the amount the average person uses in the same timeframe.(100 gallon per person, mark this down folks) NASA

along the rio grande there is an effort underway to eradicate the salt cedar, for the same reasons.
yea thats it. salt cedar = tamarisk.
but i wonder by doing that, if they are eradicating something else as well?
