Colorado Water Resources Research Institute Publications Now Available <br />SR -15 Irrigation, Settlement, and Change on the Cache La Poudre River, by Rose Laflin <br />For a paper copy, contact Gloria .Blumanhourst@colostate.edu <br />An examination of the water delivery system of Colorado's Cache La Poudre River including the small ditches, large canals, <br />and reservoirs that divert and store the river's water, originally for agricultural purposes and later for municipal, industrial, <br />and recreational use. The river drains 1,890 square miles of land in the Mummy and Never Summer ranges in Colorado <br />and Wyoming. The first diversions from the river began in the early 1860s, and the water transformed dry grasslands into <br />productive farmland. Increased agricultural demand and drought impelled the Poudre water users to look for more sources <br />and to support the Colorado -Big Thompson Project. Increasing population and economic diversification provided competition <br />for the agricultural use of the water. This study is an attempt to synthesize the history of the Cache La Poudre delivery system. <br />CR 201 Determination of Ecosystem Response Thresholds to Nutrient Enrichment of Flowing Waters in Montane <br />Colorado, by William M. Lewis, Jr. Available at: http: / /Cwrri.colostate.edu/ pubs / series /completionreport /CR201.pdf <br />The purpose of this project was to collect field data on streams in the foothills and montane parts of Colorado in support of the <br />State of Colorado's attempt to develop nutrient criteria in preparation for producing nutrient standards for Colorado waters. <br />The state has identified high elevations as the highest priority, which explains the focus on the streams of the mountains <br />and foothills. The study was instituted to provide sufficient data on nutrients and potential ecological indicators of nutrient <br />enrichment. On this basis, thresholds for enrichments relevant to Colorado waters could be established for the state. <br />CR 202 Effectiveness of Forestry Related Best Management Practices in the Trout Creek Watershed, Colorado, by <br />Nan Bay Teves and John D. Stednick For paper copy, contact Gloria .Blumanhourst@colostate.edu <br />In multiuse forests, the majority of nonpoint source pollution is typically sediment. Best management practices (Bws) <br />are implemented to reduce or prevent this pollutant, however little research has been done to quantify the effectiveness of <br />individual types of BMPs. The overall goal of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of three BMPs implemented to <br />reduce sediment in Trout Creek: cattle fences, off -road vehicle signs, and road culverts. <br />Robert C. Ward <br />Director of Colorado Water Resources Research Insitute, <br />Director of Colorado State University Water Center, <br />and - <br />Professor of Civil Engineering <br />Will retire after 35 years service <br />to Colorado State University <br />We will honor Dr. Ward and his contributions to the University <br />at a <br />Retirement Reception <br />Tuesday, December 13th, 5 to 6:30 <br />in the Lory Student Center <br />Colorado State University <br />Fort Collins Campus <br />Contact Gloria Blumanhourst at 970491 -6308 or <br />Gloria .Blumanhourst@colostate.edu for more information. <br />
