Colorado Water
Here's an article about Colorado having to let more water go down the Colorado River to satisfy the legal claims of California, from the Cortez Journal. From the article, "The 1922 Colorado River Compact requires the upstream states - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico - to provide 7.5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water each year to California, Arizona and Nevada. Most of the trans-mountain diversion projects that supply cities along Colorado's Front Range were developed after 1922, so they have a lower priority than the water promised to the lower-basin states. Some Colorado officials say the state is entitled to another 600,000 acre-feet from the Colorado River under the 1922 compact. But some hydrologists have questioned whether that water is really there."
