You're misrepresenting the facts. In-state rivers (21% of our supply) face the same existential threat of climate change. Furthermore, groundwater aquifers (currently 40%) are not renewable. The Colorado River is Arizona’s largest renewable water supply [1]. The second the Colorado gets slapped with federal restrictions industry and citizens alike will accelerate the depletion of our aquifers and before you know it the Colorado River will be the De facto majority again. No one is suggesting we immediately shut down all agriculture, though we could with the stroke of a pen subsidize hydroponic alternatives, mandate drip irrigation, enforce water reclamation, and cap and trade further agricultural development. I do not blame immigrants either, not sure how that relates to this? I simply do not deny the fact that our current path is unsustainable. Allowing agriculture to continue to grow at this rate will only backfire on those communities and cause them to face even worse economic destruction. Showing restraint now could avoid catastrophe for everyone. [1] http://www.arizonawaterfacts.com/water-your-facts http://www.arizonawaterfacts.com/water-your-facts
