Show PART II DESCRIPTION OF REGION Melting snow from high mountains provides water in Ruby Anthracite Creek in Colorado. Extensive ground water reservoirs are located in consolidated rocks and alluvium throughout the region. The ground water is interrelated with surface runoff. During periods of high runoff water moves from the stream channels into adjacent aquifers as ground water recharge. Con- versely, during low flow periods, ground water returns to stream channels and augments the streamflow. Although large quantities of ground water underlie the region, development has been limited to about 133*000 acre- feet a year under 1965 conditions. Most of the ground water withdrawn is used for municipal and industrial purposes. In addition to state laws which provide for intrastate contnol of water, use of water in the Colorado River system is governed principally by three documents-the Colorado River Compact signed in 1922, the Mexi- can Water Treaty signed in 19^, and the Upper Colorado River Basin Com- pact signed in 19^8. Among other provisions, the Colorado River Compact apportions to each of the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basins in perpetuity the exclusive beneficial consumptive use of 7,500,000 acre-feet of water of the Colorado 17 |
