 Here's an article from the Denver Post about Aurora's efforts to fit in with the communities where they are buying water rights [August 5, 2005, "Aurora taps into ranch's water, history"]. From the article, "Aurora is fighting what it calls an unjust reputation as a heartless water-grabber that soaks up water rights from rural communities with little regard for history and townspeople. For four decades, Aurora has bought water rights in the Arkansas, South Platte and Colorado river basins to serve its growing population. Critics say Aurora is putting farmers out of work and damaging local economies. But Aurora says it offers fair compensation for water rights while helping communities. City officials point to their work in Lake County, where Aurora has helped to preserve open space and is working to save historic buildings."
