A higher price would also give farmers the right incentive to grow the most water-efficient crops. It would induce entrepreneurs to come up with new water-saving technologies

Therein lies the problem. The vast majority of farmers do not have their water usage metered so how would they be charged for use? By the time they might get around to forcing meters on them the drought will be over and it will be forgotten again until the next drought. The same things were said in the early 90's and nothing changed.
