You've got to understand, we commonly get single digit precipitation for the year... When we want to mow ditches or fields, it takes mowing once a YEAR! It takes 2 years of precipitation to grow one wheat crop on dryland farms. There have been fights resulting in deaths when this area was settled because somebody cut off all the water flowing in a stream. That's why ditch companies were formed, and water rights were mandated by law. The water laws here are good, they are fair, and they are the best for our situation. Water rights can be bought/sold, may or may not come with the land. You can still file for water rights, but they will be so junior you will rarely get any water. Water rights can cost more than the land to grow the crops on. The problem comes when people don't understand the laws and the rules that govern water.
It's a different situation here than most places, there is NOT excess water. The laws are not archaic, they are necessary. What works for you in Kentucky resulted in water wars here in Colorado, and would again if we didn't have the prior use doctrine based water rights. Get over yourself.
