That's not an irrigation issue OT: As a matter of fact, it is, in the example you posted. A large amount of the water in Lake Mead (and the Colorado River that feeds it) is used for irrigation down stream. And Nevada is only entitled to 4% of the lower basin allocation. California gets over half, and Arizona gets the rest. Mexico is at the end of the line and gets a separate allocation as well. Unless allocations are cut and/or there are a number of above normal snowpack years in the headwaters in the Rockies, Las Vegas is SOL when the taps run dry..
