Of course we want to save water also because by saving fresh water we also save money, save energy, preserve fresh water supply and protect the fragile ecosystem.

Finding more water is possible — San Diego is already building a desalination plant on the Pacific shore — but there are too few sources to make a serious dent in a shortage. That leaves conservation, a tack the lower-basin states already are pursuing. The state consumes essentially as much water today as in 1955, even as its population has grown nearly twelvefold.
