This was under the threat of the federal government doing it for us. The federal government had said that all of the states together... had to come up with reducing 2 to 4 million acre feet. That's basically something like 5, 20, 25% of the total water use today. And this most recent proposal kind of short circuits that. It sounds like the federal government is on board. (09:25–09:37)
