It is my opinion that the water we have needs to be allocated first for culinary concerns, then commercial (agriculture and manufacture)and what is left (if any) for residential irrigation.
Fortunate for we fishers is that culinary water while it is stored, also makes a good home for sportfish.
Have you ever learned about NYC water supply? They used to get their water from the Hudson River. That is why NY has more designated acres of wilderness than UT. They needed to protedt the watershed much as SLC has protected the wasatch range. Now NYC has a system of resiviors to supply thier water. The fishing in these resiviors is fantastic. No motor boats allowed, fishing by permit only. We may be headed that way. Already dogs may not even be in our boat at Deer Creek. Is Jordenelle next?
