I live in the salt lake valley and it’s infuriating how much of a disconnect between public perception and reality there is about water usage. People are all stressed out about not watering their lawns and ripping out grass, when in reality the alfalfa farmers use the vast majority of our water. Because of water rights they get it cheap so we’re subsidizing beef production with our dwindling water supply so we can grow alfalfa in the desert.
