Then they pump as much as their permit allows. Where's the cheap part or the subsidy?

I see. You're thinking wells. I'm thinking city and agriculture where the water is metered. (Never had a well, never expect to.) Agriculture is the big user. You and your family out in the boonies don't use much. My dad lives in Tucson. They used to have a full aquifer, not too many years ago. They're building and building and begging their quota from the Colorado and building. Water there is pretty pricey but not pricey enough. Lots of businesses still have lawns. My dad lives in a complex with beautiful, lush lawns.
