The expansion on the eastern slope of Colorado has driven this issue. The Arkansas, the water rights for the farmers downstream have been purchased and most of the agricultural land now unused and dry. The Fountain is drained and refilled with water following Treatment. The South Platte, has been drained, but is now causing downstream water issues. The Eastern slope has even managed to attempt to get water rights on the Western slope and pump water over the continental divide. Every drop of water, even rain water and underground water, is claimed by someone in Colorado. Meters are placed even on deep well pumps to charge for the water.
Nebraska has to fight for it’s agriculture, it’s paramount to survival, and that’s based upon the Platte River watershed. I am not shocked by the lawsuit.
I can see lawyers being the ones complicating and hindering the 1926 agreement to earn their wealth.
Whiskey is for drinking; Water is for fighting.
POLIS IS A TOTAL IDIOT
