Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The study area includes only that portion of the Rio Grande Basin found in Colorado. This is the entire headwaters of the river. The Rio Grande Basin in Colorado encompasses about 5 million acres (2,023,500 ha) in south central Colorado and is bounded on the west and north by the Continental Divide, on the east by the Sangre de Cristo Range, and on the south by the Colorado-New Mexico state line. This study of the water and related land resources in the Rio Grande Basin was made under Section 6 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of the 83rd Congress (Public Law 566, as amended). The overall purpose of the study is to improve the quality of life of the basin's residents through contributions to national economic development and environmental quality objectives. This report is to be provided to federal, state and local interest for use as a guide to conserving, developing and utilizing their water and related land resources in an efficient and timely manner. It will serve as an aid to decision-makers in choosing among alternatives or competing uses of resources.
