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.

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 ...

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

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).

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.

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 ...

Shepherding Compact Security Water in the Upper Colorado River Basin
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018This article discusses the storage of conserved/foregone use water in Lake Powell to provide a means of ensuring sufficient water reaches the Lower Colorado Basin in compliance with the Colorado River Compact to avoid curtailment of water uses in the Upper Basin.

Distribution of Fishes in the San Rafael River System of the Upper Colorado River Basin
The Southwestern Naturalist, 1980The San Rafael River and lower reaches of four major tributaries, Cottonwood, Huntington, Ferron, and Rock Canyon creeks, were sampled for fish and water quality in March-April, June, and October, 1977. Native species of fish included speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus), flannelmouth suckers (Cato- stomus latipinnis), bluehead suckers (C.

Hydrologic impacts of dust on snow in the Upper Colorado River Basin
2014Water availability is one of the most pressing scientific and societal issues facing the western United States. By 2060, population within the Colorado River Basin is expected to grow 19-48% relative to the 2010 population, significantly increasing the demand for water. Simultaneously, streamflow in the Colorado River is projected to decrease between 5-
