Water Available for Energy—Upper Colorado River Basin
Journal of the Water Resources Planning and Management Division, 1976The Upper Colorado River Basin has abundant deposits of fossil fuels and minerals, and numerous projects are in progress, planned or projected, to extract these resources. The first question that needs to be answered to make it possible for these projects to become reality is the availability of water.

Reclamation of a Saline‐Alkali Soil in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1956Abstract An experiment to determine the feasibility of reclaiming an unproductive saline‐alkali calcareous soil (Billings silty clay loam) in the Upper Colorado River Basin was established near Grand Junction, Colo. The effects of leaching and gypsum on the reclamation of this soil, which is typical of the soils of the Upper Colorado ...

Sources of Controversy in the Law of the Colorado River: An Upper Basin View
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021As Colorado River Basin representatives begin negotiations for a new or modified set of operating criteria and associated agreements to manage uses of water in the Colorado River system, several long-standing sources of controversy among the basin interests are likely to emerge.

Synoptic controls on upper Colorado River basin snowfall
International Journal of Climatology, 2000Synoptic controls of the Colorado River basin snowfall are determined from 700 mb atmospheric circulation. The 700 mb time series is run through an S-mode Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which creates a synoptic index over the western US region This synoptic index is used as input to a feed-forward backpropagation neural network to develop transfer ...

First Reproduction by Stocked Bonytail in the Upper Colorado River Basin
North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 2017Abstract Bonytail Gila elegans, a large-bodied cyprinid that is endemic to the Colorado River basin of the American Southwest, was historically widespread and abundant in large warmwater streams but is now critically endangered. To increase recovery prospects, over 500,000 Bonytails have been stocked in the upper Colorado River basin ...

THE AVAILABILITY OF WATER FOR OIL SHALE DEVELOPMENT IN THE UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN
Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1980Abstract It is estimated that the water demands of an oil shale industry of about 1.5 million bbl/day, as well as the water demands of the associated growth,2 could be satisfied from surface supplies without having to significantly reduce other existing or projected consumptive uses in the Upper Colorado River Basin (see fig. 1).

The Upper Basin, Lower Basin, and Mexico: Coexisting on the Post-2026 Colorado River
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019Misuse of science in the apportionment of the Colorado River’s water in the 20th century led to an overallocation problem that must be addressed. Rules based on overestimation of the available water supply have allowed overuse in the Lower Colorado River Basin and left uncertainty about the obligation of various basin water users to contribute water ...

Atmospheric water balance and hydrology of the Upper Colorado River Basin
Water Resources Research, 1970The atmospheric water balance over the upper Colorado River is evaluated twice daily for the seven winter seasons 1957–1963. The atmospheric water balance yields the exchange of water and water vapor at the earth‐atmosphere interface through the observation of the spatial and time distributions and fluxes of water vapor in the atmosphere over the basin.

Water Availability Assessment in the Upper Colorado River Basin
The lack of comprehensive water supply prediction capacity in most areas of the U.S. poses challenges in evaluating water availability. In order to improve water availability prediction and assessment, in 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated planning efforts to intensively study five medium-sized basins throughout the U.S.Matthew Miller +13 more
