"The water that is being used by agriculture in many cases is groundwater, and it is being depleted."

"In our State, I believe I'm right, that by far the largest use of water is agriculture."

"Utah and Nevada have a challenge over groundwater resources, as Senator Bingaman noted, that has not adequately addressed."

"They have a very, what I would characterize as a very irresponsible set of water laws in Texas."
