The Denver Post - Water rights may get clearer for kayak parks <br />U d a ! 1 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />"The CWCB guards very jealously that authority <br />and historically has gone to great lengths to <br />prevent those from being recognized," he said. <br />"My impression is that things are going to be <br />more friendly." <br />Summit County Commissioner Tom Long, a water <br />rights authority and fourth- generation rancher, <br />brushed off the suggestion that recreational uses <br />have gotten short shrift from the old guard, <br />noting that procuring any new water right is <br />difficult. <br />"It does represent a change. I won't deny <br />that," Long said. "But most of the communities <br />over here got (recreational water rights) in spite <br />of the CWCB." <br />Steve Lipsher: 970 - 513 -9495 or <br />slipsher @denverpost.com <br />Advertisement <br />Powered Print <br />http:// www. denverpost .com/newsheadlines /ci_7585563 11/30/2007 <br />
