The influx of folks moving in from more expensive big city locations plus the general shift of young people rejecting conservative views even as they age is turning the state away from its traditionally republican voting tendencies as seen in recent elections.
I said that was California that painted their lawns. I lived in Arizona for a couple years, and I don’t even remember seeing lawns. But I lived in Tucson. Almost everyone had a xeriscaped yard.
Inflation adjusted… those canals cost $50 billion to construct and the project took decades. It would cost far more now, since getting access to the land rights would be a nightmare.
They’re already not providing enough water, so if building more canals is your proposed solution then you needed to start construction 20 years ago.
Upgrading the canals can potentially double the amount of water they provide. It’s far cheaper, and quicker, than building more canals.
Solar panels alone wouldn’t get you to 2x efficiency but it’ll help a lot, and unlike other upgrades it also provides ongoing revenue. It’s an absolute no brainer to start with this and do other canal upgrades later, when every inch of the canals are already covered in panels.

It’s a really good idea

It do be like that (old ppl voting R). Plus for whatever reason they all want to be here before they die, so it’s a big stubborn aged community.

In my experience with my aged relatives, they all feel extra cold now and either crank the heat up or move south.
In the summer, “could you turn the A/C down a bit?” “why, you’re hot?” as it’s set to 85F…
