> Almost a third of it is exported, mostly to China, taking far too much of our water with it.
So basically, the state is letting other countries effectively over farm Utah, destroying it while it’s at it, giving Utah little in return.
Meanwhile residents are being asked to “slow the flow” and water their lawns less, etc. No. Utah government just needs to start doing their job, pay attention to consumption, and properly govern.
One or two good rain years should not distract us from the real problem either.
