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 Mathematical modeling of water management strategies in urbanizing river basins(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 1980-06) Howe, Charles W., author; Alexander, Paul K., author; Goldberg, Jo Anne, author; Sertner, Steven, author; Studer, Hans Peter, author; Colorado Water Resources Research Institute, Colorado State University, publisherThe climatological and hydrologic conditions across the State of Colorado during the 1976-1978 drought showed great diversity, adjacent drainage basins often experiencing quite different conditions. This emphasizes the importance of providing climatological information and assistance programs that are tailored to local areas (e.g. the Water Districts in Colorado). Small towns experienced the intensifying of problems that, for the most part, had existed for a long time: lack of adequate raw water; poor system performance and high loss of produced water from lack of maintenance; inadequate financing and the use of water revenues for general purposes; and, at times, inadequate management. The latter is often caused by high turnover as personnel are attracted to the larger towns. Town responses included emergency repairs, drilling wells, buying additional water rights and renting water from farmers, restrictions on water use, installation of meters, and increasing water charges (both price and flat rates). The town experience indicated that many effective counter-drought actions depend upon local knowledge and initiative. State and federal programs cannot substitute for this, so these higher level programs must be designed to stimulate local initiative and not to be "a reward for 50 years of bad management." Rural water entities providing mostly irrigation water experienced problems stemming in part from over-irrigation in the early season, over-expansion of acreage relative to reliable water supply, and inflexible reservoir management. Cooperative sharing of water and water rentals among farmers frequently helped avoid the economic inefficiencies that would occur under strict application of priority rights. This emphasizes the importance of facilitating both the short and long-term transferability of water among uses. Major opportunities exist for conjunctive management of surface and tributary groundwaters. The State priority rights system currently prevents rational conjunctive management.Item Open Access Energy and water scarcity and the irrigated agricultural economy of the Colorado High Plains: direct economic and hydrologic impact forecasts (1979-2020)(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 1989) Phillips, Tom, author; Ludwig, Jane, author; U.S. Committee on Irrigation and Drainage, publisherDrought conditions in widespread portions of the Western United States occurred in 1977 and again in 1987 and 1988. In each case, the Congress of the United States responded by passing legislation directing the Bureau of Reclamation to mitigate the effects of the drought through financial aid and resource management. The Drought Act of 1977 and the Reclamation States Drought Assistance Act of 1988 are essentially repetitive, differing in some implementation constraints and in some areas of emphasis. Both acts are inadequate to address the emergency nature of drought programs due to time-consuming Federal restrictions that are not waived, a lack of existing directives for implementing contingency plans, and a myriad of conflicting local, state, and Federal laws and policies. The drought crisis has passed before programs can be implemented to conserve or redistribute scarce water resources or to provide financial aid. The paper compares the two acts and provides suggestions for more appropriate legislation response for future droughts.
