One issue was CA would order water from Lake Mead and then it would rain so they would cancel the order. Since the water was already in the pipeline they would just let it run out and not be charged for it. The new law forced them to store it, get charged for it and I think they were also ordered to build underground reservoirs to avoid evaporation. > Southern California uses up most of Lake Mead water.
