According to books, "water is two parts, hydrogen and oxygen. Actually, it's one part economics and one part politics." This should come as no surprise to anyone who has watched the long-time bureaucratic scramble in Washington to get aboard the water wagon. In the fastest growing parts of the country water has been in-extricably linked with votes. For decades, Interior, Agriculture and the Corps of Engineers have trampled on one another in a stampede to bestow liquid bounty on the common man, and orient his legislative representatives toward bigger appropriations for their respective agencies.
