Stanford J. Layton: 'We have time to give the climatic ebb and flow a chance to reach equilibrium again as it has so many times in the past. There is no need to reach for draconian measures just yet.'
, a geography professor at Weber State University. Both presented the thesis that the Great Salt Lake is in trouble and Utah’s alfalfa farmers are to blame. Each issued a doomsday warning, and each advanced the same conclusion: The farmers have got to go.
In the case at hand, shares are the currency and water is the merchandise. In the Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, for example, shares buy an exact number of acre-feet. That number has varied between three and six in recent years, being set each spring following a survey of reservoir storage and stream flow.
The writer proposes using state money to buy water rights from farmers upstream. Here we see another myth — that water and land can be separated. Few farmers would consider selling their water without also selling their land. In the semi-arid West, farmland without water is worthless. Will the state be willing to buy farms in order to divest their water and send it down stream to the lake? I doubt it.
