Institutional <br /> <br />The uses which might be made of any Colorado River runoff increases which <br /> <br />could be produced by vegetation manipulation are dictated by a combination of <br /> <br />factors. Foremost among these factors is the hydrologic character of the <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin. Nearly as important are the physical changes which man <br /> <br />has made in the basin, including both land use changes in the watersheds and the <br /> <br />water diversion and control structures which affect flows in stream channels. <br /> <br />Also important explanatory factors are the various demands for water which exist <br /> <br />now and those which will exist in the future. The final set of factors which <br /> <br />will shape future water uses is the institutional framework which has evolved <br /> <br />over many years to order the relationships between people as they seek to <br /> <br />exploit a limited yet common resource. Those institutions may be grouped into <br /> <br />two broad categories: those which mediate water use conflicts between direct <br /> <br />water users within individual states and those which mediate conflicts between <br /> <br />units of government at the state and higher levels. <br />
