DescriptionThe purpose of this study, which should be viewed from more of a technical perspective than a legal perspective, is to: 1) identify issues associated with the administration of state water rights in the Colorado River Basin under the terms of the Colorado River Compact and Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, 2) develop and evaluate options to avoid, minimize or delay a Compact curtailment of uses if at all possible, and 3) identify, develop and evaluate (pros and cons) concepts for curtailing water uses in Colorado in the event curtailments are required to comply with Article III of the Colorado River Compact and to implement those curtailments in a manner that will allow the maximum use possible of Colorado’s entitlements under the terms in the Colorado River Compact and Upper Colorado River Basin Compact and do so as equitably as possible.
