1. Texas is filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court claiming that New Mexico isn't living up to its water delivery commitments under the 1938 Rio Grande Compact. The Elephant Bute Dam has apparent been reducing the amount of flowing water down stream which is about 1,900 miles till the coast. The residents down stream living in Texas apparently aren't getting enough water to support there crops.
2. I believe that in some ways it's wrong to hold water in vast amounts but according to New Mexicans that the Bute is only at 8% of the capacity of holding water. Texas believes that New Mexicans are using more water than they should. I think it's wrong for Texas to accuse New Mexicans of stealing water even if it is them doing it with out notice. The New Mexicans would use in time of drought- ground water as a source of water to water there crops.
3. I believe that conflict-ions over water maybe a bit over-exaggerated because of the scarcity of the amount of fresh water in the world. I believe we could measure the water from the point of origin thence divide it into the amount to enough need for required living. I think that we take the amount of water that we use for granted because of the ignorance of how much we're using.
