Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores water storage through the construction of reservoirs on two rivers in northern Colorado. In a time when agricultural development began to outpace the natural water supply, farmers and locals initiated construction projects to store water during high runoff seasons to aid in irrigation during dry spells. The author provides a fascinating account of the development of these vital projects, describing each reservoir constructed on the Cache la Poudre and Big Thompson rivers, detailing their dimensions and functions. The book also presents the results of two seasons of agricultural data, providing a glimpse into the effectiveness and economic benefits of storing water. An in-depth examination of the legal framework governing water rights and usage further enhances the understanding of a critical component of community development in an arid region. By the end of the book, the reader gains an appreciation for the determination and ingenuity of these early water managers and the profound impact their collaborative efforts have had on agriculture in Colorado. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
