the gov't signed a deal with mexico to store part of a lake in mead. they own part of the total water. sure there are a lot of political reasons to do what they did and people much smarter than me making those decisions. or at least I tell myself they are smarter
zog is right in that agriculture is a big chunk but just as much is power generation and don't forget about nevada. 90% of our local vegas water comes from mead. in a town that is currently growing again by almost 1000 people a month.
recreation is simply a byproduct and they don't give 2-shits about that industry. treehuggers would like to see all of it shut down and lakes become nonmotorized.
