It designed it, created it, engineered it, constructed it, maintains it and it is responsible for any future use or evolution that the Grand Canyon will hold for future generations. The user states are all gearing up for the next Colorado River Compact in the hopes of improving their apportionment. Nevada and New Mexico each justly believe that they were shortchanged in the 1922 agreement and Mexico will surely bring suit in the International courts when the Supreme Court reaches its decision.
California which was the clear and primary winner of the 1922 Compact could be building Pacific Ocean water distillation systems even though they have a major influence in the US House.
The Colorado River is the "Life's Blood" of the American Southwest.
