Abstract:

In September, 1996, the Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission contracted with ECONorthwest to study the major problems associated with the growing competition for scarce water and related resources in the Upper Rio Grande Basin, and to make recommendations for appropriate federal policies and actions for addressing the problems. This is our final report. The study covers the area from the headwaters, in Colorado, to Ft. Quitman, Texas.
