Texas & NM

Texas filed a law suit against nm because they claimed thatNew Mexico was failing to live up to its water delivery commitments under the 1938 Rio Grande Compact. If the statement is true, then it is perfectly justified, because Texas desperately needs water too.i think that this incident shows us how much we take the access of water so easily for granted.  I think that in order to prevent water conflicts in the future, there needs to be a set amount of water that each region or household gets, so that they can't waste the water. But, if they were to run out they would be able to purchase more. This idea is flawed because many people believe that water should not have a price tag, and that it should be a right. I myself agree with them but there must be some way that we can control the use of water. Especially as the population grows.
