Except the renegotiation that McCain is talking about would give more water to the lower basin. After reading up on the compact it does seem clear that the current water usage is too high, but as far as I know, nobody in the lower basin would agree to getting less water. I guess one positive of of the housing bust is that water usage growth should slow for a while.
