There is a great deal of handwringing over the lack of water and the federal government reducing usage. These reports overlook money to deal with the crisis in the environmental legislation Biden signed yesterday. I live in the headwaters of the Colorado River and have watched our fabled trout streams at risk in this historic drought. Our local newspaper reported that there was $ 4 billion in the bill Biden signed. Assuming the money in the bill survived the final version, this is an aspect of the story that needs to be verified. I will update this posting. Note: all Republicans voted against it.
