Colorado Water
There's a bad moon rising over a recent settlement agreement for water use from the Gunnison River, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 5, 2033, "Critics fight canyon water settlement"]. From the article, "In April, the Bureau of Reclamation, the state of Colorado and the National Park Service agreed to a minimum flow for the river through the Black Canyon. Following a legal challenge, the Colorado Supreme Court set a Dec. 26 deadline for briefs from attorneys representing groups who want the water settlement killed. 'Front Range water interests have their eyes on the Gunnison River,' said Drew Peternell, an attorney for Trout Unlimited, one of the groups filing briefs. More water flows through the river than is covered by the settlement, leaving excess water that could be tapped for diversion to water- short Front Range communities south of Denver, critics say."
