CONCLUSION <br />Technically, saving water within the Grand Valley Project is possible. The <br />legal challenges will be monumental and costly, but also achievable. The <br />institutional challenges will require effort and the desire from all sides to find <br />a workable solution to this unique opportunity. The environmental community <br />and water user community will need to gradually develop trust. The only <br />apparent form of hammer the water users' have is resistance. It would be <br />possible to defeat this strategy with a larger hammer but the political expense <br />and the amount of time required, would be detrimental to all, especially the <br />endangered fish. But a carrot could result in more water efficiency and would <br />not alienate water users throughout the rest of the state in future recovery <br />efforts.
