Be careful what you wish for. The construction industry is driving the states economy. If K'ville, Layton and Farm wern't growing where would Hooked be? If the south valley wern't growing where would all our children live? If UT country wasn't growing would Geneva Steel be providing jobs?
Water is the limiting factor to growth in UT, no doubt. The thing is we have laeger famlies than most areas and our children want to stay here, that means more housing.
Maybe we should all kill our lawns and put in cactus and stones. Maybe we should stop sending the alf-alfa farmers water, after all it takes a lot of water to grow in a desert and for what really? A few cows?
There is no good answer to the water problems in the west. The problem will grow. As far as fishing water, it has never been a priorarty and never will.
