WCCAFFREB <br />.p, 0: BOX 1031 <br />STERLIHG, COLt>RADO 80151 <br /> <br />2$,000,000 acre feet of accumulated ground water in the aquifer <br /> <br /> <br />which lies along the South platte river and its tributaries. It <br /> <br /> <br />follows on the heels of a January action by the same district in <br /> <br /> <br />filing a series of district court suits for adjudication of cer- <br /> <br />tain water rights in central and western Colorado to which the <br /> <br />Central district has laid claim. <br /> <br />Hamil termed the new Central district action as "unfortu- <br /> <br />nate, corilinog .sit does during t.he.course of a constructive <br /> <br />statewide effort to determine how best to integrate the use of <br />surface and ground wate~ for the maximum benefit of all concerned." <br />He added, "Both the state and federal governments are spend- <br />ing huge sums of money to determine the extent to which an inte- <br />grated program can develop the maximum use of all waters. Engi- <br />neering studies of both the South Platte and Arkansas river <br /> <br />systems, instigated by the state legislature, have been underway <br />for a year and are due for completion this summer," he pointed out. <br />"practically all water users expect that these studies will <br /> <br />produce information upon which to base responsible legislation for <br /> <br />a comprehensive irrigation code integrating the use of surface and <br />ground wayer for maximum benefits." - -- <br /> <br />----30---- <br /> <br />-<'.:,,-0 ,-~.:"",t.:;:.;o,;:f1_~*","''''-~~~..a&'4~*",- <br /> <br />-'"::;.;.,~ >>^".t~ <br /> <br />.,';~ ~. <br /> <br />~~--_.;:;-.ilA <br /> <br /> <br />
