Answer:

It has become evident in recent years that established water policies, under the current laws and management regimes that have allowed a flourishing agriculture and economy in the Southwest, are not appropriate to the challenges facing water demand in the 21st century. Yet only limited institutional and policy steps have been taken to develop new tools and approaches addressing these challenges. The circumstances listed below illustrate some of the more important unsustainable aspects of water use in the Southwest.
