Item Open Access Federal water storage projects: pluses and minuses(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1970-1980) Howe, Charles W., author; Colorado Water Resources Research Institute, publisherItem Open Access Systematic design of legal regulations for optimal surface-groundwater usage - Phase I(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1973) Morel-Seytoux, Hubert J., author; Young, R. A. (Robert Alton), 1931-, author; Radosevich, George, author; Colorado State University, Environmental Resources Center, publisherEven though the word Economics was left out of an already lengthy title, its importance was recognized in the study. The report, the outcome of a one-year study, is made of three parts dealing respectively with the hydrologic, legal and economic aspects of conjunctive surface-groundwater management. Hydrologist, lawyers and economists have become increasingly and even painfully aware of the complex degree of interaction of their respective disciplines and as a result they have attempted to establish a connection. This report emphasizes. the fact that the solution of the problem requires not just a mere juxtaposition of parts (a procedure acceptable as a start) but a complete integration from concepts down to coding details.Item Open Access Economic, political, and legal aspects of Colorado water law(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 1977-11) Colorado State University, Environmental Resources Center, authorTwo workshops were held in late November of 1977 under sponsorship by the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the Colorado Drought Council. They were planned and conducted jointly by the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute and the Colorado Cooperative Extension Service. The workshops were held November 28 in Grand Junction and November 29 in Denver to explore several key questions relative to the drought experienced in Colorado during the preceding months. Included in the goals of the workshops were: to learn what emergencies occurred, what steps were taken to solve particular problems, what might have been tried, what legal constraints and institutional problems were encountered, and what preparations ought to be made to better meet future drought emergencies.Item Open Access Institutional arrangements for effective water management in Colorado(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 1993-11) Taylor, R. Garth, author; Young, Robert A. (Robert Alton), 1931-, author; McKean, John R., 1939-, author; Colorado Water Resources Research Institute, publisherUrban water supply agencies seeking to meet growing municipal water demands in the arid southwest are finding that the purchase of water from existing agricultural uses is, from their perspective, often more cost-effective than construction of additional storage. Colorado municipalities have been among the most active purchasers of irrigation water rights. Agriculture-to-urban water transfers have economic impacts at the local, regional and state levels. Although the transfers represent "willing buyer-willing seller" exchanges, and represent a gain for both parties to the transactions, concerns have been voiced over whether the economic values of the transacting entities fully take into account the values to the region and the state. Starting in the 1970s, water for urban use has been purchased in Crowley County, a small rural county in southeastern Colorado. Crowley County lands are irrigated from the Lower Arkansas River via the Colorado Canal. Some 85% of the water rights formerly serving 47,000 irrigated acres in Crowley County have been purchased by municipalities. This study had two main purposes. The first was to employ a nonmarket valuation technique to estimate the foregone direct economic benefits (opportunity costs) of irrigation water used in Crowley County. The second purpose was to estimate regional (direct plus secondary) employment impacts of the reduced irrigated agriculture.
