During times of drought, when only (ii) appropriators may have their allotments fulfilled, junior appropriators are especially dependent on these return flows. They bear most of the (iii) risk of drought. Actions by senior rights holders that affect water consumption can influence the amount of water released downstream. Accordingly, water trading from agriculture to urban uses that involves export out of the basin can impair third parties and is subject to state regulation to ensure that no harm is inflicted on junior diverters [...].
