Lowering the price of water taken from the Colorado River basin would not address the water supply problems in the region. In fact, it could lead to more wasteful use of water and exacerbate the problem. The other actions listed (slowing growth and development of urban populations, switching water-thirsty crops to less arid areas, prohibiting the use of water on golf courses and lawns, and eliminating subsidies for agriculture in the region) would help conserve and better manage the water supply in the Colorado River basin.
