Colorado Water Task Force
The Rocky Mountain News has a story about what the Colorado Governor's Water Task Force recommend regarding irrigation.
It seems that the favorite suggestion of every task force is to ask for more money for more studies, funded by the people they are studying. I wonder if it has something to do with the people that are chosen for the Task Forces in the first place.
Few Colorado farmers will take comfort in their recommendations.
Farmers have adopted a "live and let live" attitude. As a result, there is no organized resistance to those who have decided to take the water for their own purposes.
