It seems far simpler to me to redefine &amp;quot;beneficial use&amp;quot; to include trade and then allow water rights holders to trade those rights (short or long-term). It will be necessary to know groundwater rights and withdrawal before such trades can occur, of course.&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why the heck are so many environmental groups not thinking this way? Part of it must come from the same command/control mindset that tells them people with lots of degrees and the right political leanings should be in charge of everything (just as works so well France). There is surely more to it than that, but I can&amp;#39;t quite get my arms around it.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/214725724832377908/7648144976699792984/comments/default/5420537272048695518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/214725724832377908/7648144976699792984/comments/default/5420537272048695518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aguanomics.com/2008/11/primer-on-california-water.html?showComment=1226338033613#c5420537272048695518' title=''/><author><name>Philip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800832685294492</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://aguanomics.com/2008/11/primer-on-california-water.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214725724832377908.post-7648144976699792984' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/214725724832377908/posts/default/7648144976699792984' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
