<br />
<br />A comprehensive review is presented of state, interstate, and international
<br />arrangements, agreements, contracts and legal decisions that have governed or now
<br />dictate management of the waters in the Colorado River. Emphasis is placed on legal
<br />and institutional arrangements as they relate to water quality management problems.
<br />Implications of recent decisions governing construction of a desalting plant are
<br />included.

<br />
<br />The U.S. Geological Survey established a water-sampling network in central and
<br />western Colorado to sample the hydrologic environment prior to, during, and
<br />following the various phases of Project Rulison. Project Rulison is an experiment
<br />designed to stimulate production of natural gas by explosion of a nuclear device in the
<br />gas-reservoir rock. Data obtained by analysis of samples collected from the network
<br />stations are presented. All of the precipitation samples are routinely analyzed for
<br />tritium. Stream samples collected at Plateau Creek near Cameo and Colorado River
<br />near De Beque are routinely analyzed for tritium, gross alpha, and gross beta contents.
<br />Data are tabulated from samples collected in conjunction with the second production
<br />flaring (December 1 to December 20, 1970). The period of observation was one of
<br />undetectable amounts of tritium in precipitation and lower than the first production
<br />flaring values for both tritium and gross radioactivity in streams.
