Excerpt from Water Rights on Interstate Streams: The Platte River and Tributaries; Results of Investigation, Water Rights Within the States The law prescribing the work to be done by this Office originally provided for the investigation of the laws Of the-states and Terri tories as affecting irrigation and the rights of appropriators. Under this provision studies of the laws Of several of the States have been made. In 1903 this law was changed by adding to the above clause, and Of riparian proprietors. In response to many requests from the people interested in the control and use of water of the streams flowing east from the Rocky Mountains, a study of the laws affecting the distribution of the water of the Platte River and its tributaries was begun in 1903.

Why do people fight about water rights? Who decides how much water can be used by a city or irrigator? Does the federal government get involved in state water issues? Why is water in Colorado so controversial? These questions, and others like them, are addressed in Colorado Water Law for Non-Lawyers. This concise and understandable treatment of the complex web of Colorado water laws is the first book of its kind. Legal issues related to water rights in Colorado first surfaced during the gold mining era in the 1800s and continue to be contentious today with the explosive population growth of the twenty-first century. Drawing on geography and history, the authors explore the flashpoints and water wars that have shaped Colorado’s present system of water allocation and management. They also address how this system, developed in the mid-1800s, is standing up to current tests—including the drought of the past decade and the competing interests for scarce water resources—and predict how it will stand up to new demands in the future. This book will appeal to at students, non-lawyers involved with water issues, and general readers interested in Colorado’s complex water rights law.
