As agricultural production in the American West boomed in the second half of the 19th century, measures were taken by the states to collect and apportion water for irrigation in an orderly and evenhanded manner. California, Nevada, and Colorado all led the nation in the development of these laws. In this exhaustive volume, Huston brings together the various Colorado laws relating to irrigation and the appropriation of water, including the construction and destruction of ditches, definitions of and rules regarding "desert land," laws governing ditch and reservoir companies, eminent domain, use rates, and much more. With a helpful index. A significant treatise on western irrigation laws. WYNAR 3019. 12mo. Contemporary legal sheep, gilt morocco labels. Backstrip repaired, chipped at spine ends (large chip at top of spine), hinges weak. Contemporary ownership signature on front free endpaper. Denver bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown. Internally clean. Good.
