Not trying to hijack a thread, but Nevada is hardly sucking the river dry.

Nevada's Colorado river allotment of 300,000 acre feet hasn't changed in 70 years. We here aren't taking any more out, there is just less to draw from.

Arizona's allotment is over 1 million acre feet and California's is 3 times that of Arizona.

Nevada does need to do something to slow the greedy developers however.
