Wasting precious water?

Water is rare in the west and yet, our Utah (and Park City) population is expected to double up over the next two decades. In spite of this, water is being waster like there's no tomorrow. Maintaining green lawns and irrigating golf courses represent the largest use of water.

This is the case with the Park Meadows golf course adjacent to our home, where there are more maintenance workers busy on it than actual players. This waste is due in part to crazy water laws that apportion water arbitrarily and regardless of whether it's available or not.

Maybe a changing environmental reality will force a review of these laws?
