Are you suggesting that there is no legal framework (or avenue to one) that would allow the federal government to step in here?

  Yea, the OP said federal legislators should do something. The constitution provides them a legal framework for writing laws.

    The current setup is strongly based on historic water rights laws. Touching that would be opening a giant Pandora’s box few legislators want to handle. And with how broken Congress is in general, do ANY of the states involved think that would produce a better outcome?

      Yes of course congress is a mess and intervention will have major consequences, but the alternative seems to be everyone stands around watching the water dry up.

        And hoping this winter will be a wet one. Which, hey maybe. But nah. Sounds about right! If the little guy gets screwed too, SNAFU.
