Historic claims put a few California farming families first in line for Colorado River water https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/111123_colorado_river_claims/historic-claims-put-few-california-farming-families-first-line-colorado-river-water/
20 extended families receive one-seventh of the Colorado River flow through its lower half - a whopping 1,186,200 acre-feet, or about 386.5 billion gallons, and the historic claims of these families and all of Imperial County place them first in line - ahead of every state and major city.

I can only hope in my lifetime we can get beyond supporting destructive and non-sensical-for-our-time-and-situation policies, practices, laws etc. because “this was determined in 1700, 1800, 1900 (sorry my Gen!) and its settled policy, practice, law” shit. Preferably before we destroy our only home beyond repair.
