This book documents 24 years of the Colorado State Engineers' activities, providing a detailed picture of water management in Colorado from 1926 to 1928. During this period, the state made significant progress in water administration, including the installation of over 200 automatic recording devices on canals and streams. The author emphasizes the crucial role of accurate water accounting for effective management and highlights innovative practices, such as the use of the Improved Venturi Flume and the development of a comprehensive daily reporting system in the San Luis Valley. The author argues that efficient water distribution requires not only technical expertise but also adequate funding and trained personnel, and proposes innovative solutions to address these challenges. By chronicling the evolution of water management in Colorado, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of water resource management in the arid western United States. It is a valuable resource for water managers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history and future of water management in the region.
