- InTheArena 3y agoThis is incorrect. The water usage is split 50/50 between the upper basin and lower basin, where rights are senior to each pool. The upper basin states are also well below their allocation right now, as opposed to the southern states. I've been following this very closely for a while - the primary issue here is still agricultural businesses in California consuming more then their water rights permit.
