Synopsis: The fight over the Colorado River water continues in the West.

UCLA News: Zasloff said, “California's side is that they essentially made a deal back in the late '60s, early '70s that if things are going to be running dry, then they get guaranteed a certain amount. The other states are saying, well, yes, but we've got this real crisis, so let's do it in a different way… We can't think of water just as water, as just something that you drink. It's going to be everything that you do, not only in terms of landscaping but in terms of your food, in terms of your energy.”
