American western water rights do not seem to be gobberment control. While the gobberment provides the judicial system through which water rights issues are adjudicated, and states administer the number of rights for a given water source, pricing is all in the market. Water rights are separate from land rights and are bought and sold at higher premium than gold. Man can live without gold, but without water, man dies. Water essentially defies the laws of nature. Water flows uphill... to money. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
