I know negotiations among states that draw from the Colorado River are ongoing with water rationing measures being discussed, but it feels like the threat of water shortage doesn’t align with booming growth in this part of the country. Is the threat overstated? Are there solutions available when things get really dire? Or is it just hubris of prioritizing short term profits instead of long term sustainability? All the above?

It doesn’t hurt yet. My water bill is less in Utah than it was in Florida where water falls from the sky. I have secondary water for my sprinklers that is unlimited and free… long before we run out of water those costs are going to go up and then people will start to care. There will come a point where water becomes expensive enough that it’ll affect voting… until it does why would anyone expect change?
