    The Ecological Issue Here ...is not who gets the water, but that so much is being diverted from the river.  The Colorado now doesn't even reach the sea, which should be an absolute minimum requirement.  While a great deal of water is wasted on things like watering lawns, washing cars, and growing inappropriate crops, the fate of the Colorado River is a great example of the harms caused by human overpopulation.
