Supposedly the government has to pay to exercise Imminent Domain. But water is ever increasingly scarce and grows more and more expensive. And we promised these people mountains of water forever. There's no way to buy these people out. The price is infinity. The proverbial All The Gold In Fort Knox is still less valuable than top rights to the rivers & aquifers forever. So what do we do? Should we go broke paying ever more for Imminent Domain money to re-civilize water we said belonged to the very few, the very old interests? Imminemt Domain doesnt seem sufficient here. Do we do nothing, and just let there be not enough water, let the right dry up along with the water supply itself, and let the shared pain also impact the rest of civilization? This is such a pitiful situation. It drives me nuts that we are so afraid to have a government that can redress it's own criminally poor life-threatening choices. Someone needs to sue the government for granting these impossible water rights in the first place- force these rights to be overturned- with a charge of negligent homicide against the state. Right now there's seeming agreement there's no escape from these rights, but the rest of the world also has some rights, and those rights needed a stake at the table many decades ago when these absurd water rights were being created. Or we need real redress now, cancelling the impossible promise of exploitation forever.
