@samlitzinger "In the upper basin states — CO, WY, UT and NM — cattle-feed crops consumed 90% of all water used by irrigated agriculture on average. In the lower basin states of California, Arizona and Nevada, hay accounted for 57% of agricultural water use"
and
"the purpose of the research isn’t to point fingers at farmers for the crops they choose to grow"

I'm willing to point fingers. How about drastically reducing cattle ranching?
