Conflict is not Likely, it is Imminent
In a recent volley between Phoenix and Los Angeles, newspapers in those two arid cities pointed fingers at each other over who has the least sustainable water supply.
the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that thirsty Texas counties can t run a pipeline into Oklahoma for more drops to drink.
At issue is a 2012 order to eventually pump some 84,000 acre-feet of groundwater a year from four rural valleys in Lincoln and White Pine counties.

Water Shortage Impacts
The new estimate for municipal and industrial water demand was increased to 2,553,000 ac-ft. However, water planners estimated that local suppliers would still be able to meet this larger future demand and maintain a reliable supply surplus, if a variety of strategies were employed.

Water Resource Development Timeline 1948 Upper Colorado River Compact allocated Upper Basin water based on percentages (Utah received 23 percent). 1951 Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District became first customer for Central Utah Project, which provided funds necessary for construction to begin. 1963 Flaming Gorge and Glen Canyon Dams built, providing water storage for droughts and emergencies. 1982 Quail Creek Dam and Sand Hollow Reservoir become early examples of state funded water development projects. 1991 Bear River Development Act passed. 2006 Lake Powell Pipeline Development Act passed. 1941 The Utah Water Conservancy District Act was passed, allowing government entities to build reservoir projects and provide water supply protection. 1950 Weber Basin Water Conservancy District created, allowing Bureau of Reclamation to construct Weber Basin Project. 1956 Colorado River States Project passed, allowing for dams in Upper Basin of Colorado River and funding for Central Utah Project. 1964 Central Utah Water Conservancy District formed. 1992 Central Utah Project Completion Act approved, marking the end of federal funding for water development projects. Funding now provided by the state. 2012 The Legislative Task Force formed to focus on water development throughout the state.
