Most of the water goes to agriculture and the lion’s share goes to water for animal feed crops (cattle). No one should be growing alfalfa in the desert, one of the most water intensive crops.

Colorado River water is over-allocated. #Agriculture uses the most and feed for cattle uses the lion’s share of that. We are literally exporting water globally in those crops.

A new water compact will need to be made among the 7 states and river tribes. They will all have to become more efficient with water usage. And they can. Agriculture takes the lion’s share of the water.
