There is. But the reason Idaho wants to shut the farmers water off is to benefit Jervois Mining, the cobalt (lithium) harvesting company near the Salmon River in Idaho. It has just been granted a 24/7 mining operation permission. The company needs vast amounts of water for their processing. Lithium for batteries.

Just for grins, I went to zillow coeur d'alene and plugged in houses built after 2022. The red dots (new housing) was about two thirds of the designated area on the map.

I know for a fact Idaho is being flooded by those scumbags from kalifornia. Could it also be the water shortage is from all those invaders?

Sounds like the farmers might have to borrow from what the Dutch did. Those are ruinous prices.

…For EVs, I bet. That no one wants, I’d also wager.

So we need lithium batteries more than food. I don’t think this mining company is even a USA company, is it?

Hmmm... Twin Falls Canal Co. has the senior water rights according to the article. I’m wondering now whether TFCC has sold off its seniority to water to Jervois Mining.
