I’ve read on CB that agriculture uses more water than people/subdivisions in northern Utah. That doesn’t seem plausible.

Only 6 percent goes to residential lawn and gardens. 4 percent indoors.

The reclamation water for urban usage is more efficient than agricultural usage.

Maybe crops should be grown where there's good soil and ample water.

All water in the state is accounted for, and the Wasatch Front is fully
