Abstract
Is it not the case that these citizens are faced with severe and complicated resource-allocation problems in need of solutions? That when it takes a decade or more to resolve these problems under our current system, we have not much to lose. That the costs may not be more than those we currently bear, and if they are they may be worth paying? That the plethora of state and federal agencies and courts grappling with these problems is a source of substantial ineffectiveness itself? And I would summon Lon Fuller one last time: the demand on our imagination is "a tribute to the difficulty of the task human ingenuity sets for itself when, instead of leaving the distribution of moisture to the chance play of winds and clouds, it assumes that task itself. Burton has suggested the first step; let us go the extra mile.
