The Colorado River Crisis is currently the most obvious example of a serious, man vs nature problem, but people NEVER LEARN. We reject the ugly realities with a child-like trust that everything will be okay and we can do whatever we want ad infinitum. TOLD YOU SO! Cant fix it now, so suck it up.

Maybe it's time to admit that the Colorado River was over allocated from the start, and that first to use historical precedent maybe isn't a good foundation for a modern solution.

Practically, we're going to be paying farmers $300-$500 per acre-foot to stop growing alfalfa and melons in the desert. It'll thus take $1 billion a year tol save ~3 million acre-feet per year. Also, LA/PHX should pay, not the feds. Imperial Irrigation District will make out like bandits!
