Re:Why districts are slow to charge market rates for water by matthewterhune on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @01:29AM (#36040240)
It means increasing food prices specifically for foods that require extensive irrigation, and are likely ill-suited for the region they are being grown except for water subsidies, e.g. almonds in California. So it means shifting agriculture towards more sustainable crops, increased prices for some specific foods, and likely reduced water prices for the average consumer.

I think that the agriculture thing is again better achieved with regulation, rather than a magical market fairy.
