What Are the Issues in Implementing Better Water Policy?

One of the things policy makers need to think hard about is in implementing better water prasing. How to best help vulnerable communities like poor rural towns and native american tribes, who wouldn't be able to forward the price of water on an open market. There are also states that hope to build more dams and aqueducts and take more water out of the river. It's important to note that the west as a region has always been hot and dry and inhospitable. But if policy makers and utilities act now, then it doesn't have to become uninhabitable.
