An alternative would be aquifer recharge using desalinated water. It's on the table in Arizona. The Governor has held talks with Mexico about the potential for a desalination plant on the Sea of Cortez. It's a drop in the bucket to what is needed, but could be the model of how the west can take on the challenges of replenishing the aquifer. Naysayers talk it down but don't bring solutions themselves. This is a larger problem where lots of small solutions will make up the answer.
