This is my neck of the woods. He is absolutely correct. Anyone from Idaho knows that most of Eastern Idaho is arid, and the only thing keeping it green is the water farmers and land owners apply to it.

Government, whether State of Federal, have no right, nor authority, to be preventing anyone from using the water available to them. Every parcel of land has a certain amount of water rights included with it. Without that water, most of the land will be useless for farming or cattle.
