Water rights is THE problem. You can't talk about water conservation without first adressing water/land rights.

Water rights reform means disenfranchising land owners and reappropriating billions in wealth of purchased, and passed down, water rights.

After that, conservation can be effectively tackled.

Banks, corporations & farmers lobby to fight water right reform to avoid loss of powers & wealth, then blame government for failed water conservation.
