I don't disagree with you, but interestingly enough, these kinds of disputes are rare (and I haven't heard of one in years) in the Northeast -- even in a jurisdiction like New York State that is a de facto Marxist state. I suspect the biggest factor is that water isn't very scarce up here, and that what we call a "drought" is nothing more than an unusually dry period that is likely to be followed by one or more seasons where reservoirs are overflowing. For example, it's pretty much understood that after this harsh winter when the snow and ice on the interior areas of the Northeast melt, we're going to have a huge problem with inland flooding for several weeks.

Some are natural, some are man made. They are interconnected in a giant water project.

Just because a government is empowered to do X, does not require that it control Y - down that path is absolute government control, because EVERYTHING is connected: road, cars, tires, fuel, tractors, farms, food, grocery stores, cosmetics, beauty salons, barber shops...
And that is just a single linear thread.
