Colorado Water
Several groups are challenging a recent agreement on minimum water flow in the Gunnison River. Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [December 6, 2003, "Black Canyon water proposal challenged"]. 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 canyon in southwestern Colorado. Critics say there is more water in the river than is covered by the settlement, leaving excess water that could be tapped for diversion to water-short Front Range communities. Environmental groups also say that the minimum flow, set at 300 cubic feet per second, is far too low."
