Water, like healthcare & electricity is not a right........ it is a commodity.......
No it's not...the water is not privately owned(unless it's well water, but it's not in this case)....but if it comes to the point where poor or middle class people can't afford to live there they need to move...cost is one of the biggest motivators in persuading people to move from areas that are otherwise inhospitable to humans....What's the alternative? Force the government to import water from elsewhere and make it cheap? Ya think people will say to themselves..."you know the weather here is mostly nice, and the water is cheap...but you know we outta move...this aint right for the environment."


The government can ration the water....
