Explore how Colorado measured and managed its water resources in a detailed state-wide effort.

This nonfiction work presents the planning, debates, and practical steps behind surveying streams, establishing gauges, and coordinating with other agencies to improve water distribution and policy.

In clear language, it outlines challenges in funding, the value of permanent gauging stations, and how data drives decisions on ditches, reservoirs, and river rights. It includes practical examples such as the role of gauge stations in Fort Collins and other sites, plus recommendations that shaped state policy and infrastructure.

How gauging stations work and why they matter for fair water division.
Suggestions for state funding and cooperative projects with geological surveys.
Key recommendations to improve roads, reservoirs, and water rights administration.
Historical context for policy debates on water transfers and storage.

Ideal for readers of state engineering history, public policy, and early 20th‑century infrastructure planning, this edition offers a practical look at how data and governance intersect in water management.
