<br />. <br /> <br />002533 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DESALTING STUDIES IN COLORADO <br /> <br />By <br /> <br />FELIX L. SPARKS, DIRECTOR <br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br /> <br />Before the <br /> <br />CONFERENCE ON COOPERATIVE DESALTING STUDIES <br /> <br />Anaheim, Cali~ornia <br />December 13, 1972 <br /> <br />There is an extensive common belief among residents of <br /> <br />other states, and particularly of those states downstream from the <br /> <br />state of Colorado, that the people of Colorado enjoy water supplies <br /> <br />of the highest quality. The slogan "Brewed with pure Rocky Mountain <br /> <br />spring water" has added greatly to the sales volume of Coors beer <br /> <br />which is produced in Colorado. It it true that most of our commu- <br /> <br />nities obtain high quality water supplies from the melting snows of <br /> <br />the Rockies. However, all is not gold that glitters, and all water <br /> <br />in Colorado is not pure. If it is any comfort to the people of <br /> <br />southern California who are complaining about the quality of water <br /> <br />which they receive from the Colorado River, we have communities in <br /> <br />Colorado with public water supplies containing total dissolved <br /> <br />solids about four times greater than contained in the water currently <br /> <br />being diverted through the Colorado River aqueduct into southern <br /> <br />California. <br />
