Colorado Water
Environmentalists and utility managers are blasting a report on water needs, according to the Denver Post [September 9, 2004, "State water-needs study criticized as inaccurate"]. From the article, "Utility managers and environmentalists on Wednesday pummeled the credibility of preliminary findings in a $2.7 million statewide study of Colorado's water needs. The taxpayer-funded Statewide Water Supply Initiative indicates that utilities can provide 90 percent of the water for the state's growth through 2030. That finding, however, drew heavy criticism. Experts said many of the projects designed to meet that need may never get built and some are in competition for the same future water rights."
