Another possibility, "watch the water" may have something to do with Obama's EPA WOTUS (Waters of the United States) rule, Trump signed an EO on this last year to stop these regulations, causing farmers, miners, ranchers, ski resorts, etc. to go out of business and into default from over regulation, then gov. gets the land through tax liens, Trump's EPA has been working on re writing the Clean Waters Act, to be put to congress in April
