Lowering the price of water taken from the river would not address the underlying issue of the water supply problem in the Colorado River basin. Instead, experts recommend solutions such as slowing urban population growth and development, 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. By implementing these measures, the demand for water can be reduced, and the water supply in the Colorado River basin can be better managed.
