Synopsis
This book offers a comprehensive overview of water resource management in Colorado from the state's nascent years up to the late 1800s. The author describes how the state's first irrigation systems were born of necessity in the face of a largely arid landscape. As the state progressed through the latter half of the 19th century, a patchwork of water rights and conflicts emerged, eventually leading to the development of various water laws intended to bring order and equity to the distribution of water. The author goes on to describe the state's various water districts and the proceedings of the water commissioners charged with overseeing the distribution of water therein. The book concludes by discussing the future of water resource management and the emerging importance of water storage in light of a growing population and the prospect of a changing climate.
