Water Conservation and Agriculture in the Colorado River Basin

According to Webster's dictionary, agriculture is defined as the science, art or practice of cultivating soil, producing crops, breeding livestock. Essentially, agriculture is an important element of the prosperity and sustainable community of 7 billion residents on our planet. The Colorado River is an important resource for life for the necessary agriculture. From the source of the Rocky Mountains in Mexico to the California Gulf, the Colorado River has over 1,400 miles.

Colorado State is an upstream state, the origin of four major river basins or sub-basins. It is a land flowing into public places (major rivers) through Ogawa (tributary). There are Pratt (Northern Forward Mountains), Arkansas (formerly Southern Mountains), Grand River (South Colorado State), Colorado State (West Colorado State) in the basin of Colorado. These rivers are collectively supplying water to 17 downstream states and 2 countries - the United States and Mexico. The Colorado River is one of the state's largest river basins located on the elevation of Rocky Mountain National Park, heading west toward areas such as the Great Lakes and Kremlin. There are tributaries and rivers famous worldwide in the catchment area, and it is indispensable for fishery, white water and agricultural irrigation. Other rivers that make up the Colorado Basin include Animas, San Juan, Blue, Dolores, Eagle, Gunnison, Rolling Fork, Yampa River.

The state of Colorado in a semi-dry state relies heavily on the water flowing through rivers and streams. With the development of Colorado State, the growth of Front Range has exceeded the supply of nearby available water sources. About 80% of Colorado's population lives in the forefront whereas 80% of Colorado State rainfall is on the west slope. Assuming a future water shortage, water suppliers (utilities and protected areas) of Front Range will acquire important water rights of West Slope and move water from the west slope to the east through the continental basin I can do it. However, when water passes through "mountains" from the eastern part of the Colorado River basin to another basin such as South Platte or Arkansas River Basin, it will not return to the Colorado River.

Water in the secondary river basin is not a tributary of Colorado state, but western slope agriculture has always existed in more rainfall on the western slope. However, this compact guarantee will supply 5 million feet of water to California, Nevada, Arizona. These are almost completely consumed in cities with dry weather such as Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Phoenix etc. All Dongpo conversion is the main in contract. When Colorado Plat moved, all of it was located upstream of the entrance to the Colorado Grand Canyon, the amount of water flowing into the Grand Canyon was less than 5 million acres - feet and caused a tight call. Since the transfer of Dongpo is the main matter of the contract, the law demands a decrease in transfer. In an attempt to maintain the necessary flow at the forefront, purchasing the remaining agricultural rights of the western agricultural area through a large-scale purchase and drying plan
