I think this illustrates that its sustainable on paper but the current sets of humans using the Colorado river water aren't using it sustainably though when its all added up. We can get pedantic about it but something has to change, right?
- AlotOfReading 4y agoI don't think there's any disagreement that things have to change. The difference is whether we're talking about negotiating a difficult balance of competing interests within reasonable limits, or engaging in a political knife fight to decide who gets all the remaining water. We need to make a conscious decision to recognize a balance is possible though and negotiate it. If we don't, the situation eventually devolves into the knife fight regardless.
