It makes no sense at all to pay $2k an acre-foot for water in a state where millions of acre-feet are being used to grow alfalfa that sells for less than $400 per acre-feet of water consumed. It would be cheaper to use eminent domain on water rights and pay the fifth amendment just compensation costs.
