OF MONTANA <br />POLSON, MT <br />Environmental issues cannot be resolved effectively without <br />allowing senior water rights holders to lease their water to <br />downstream or in-stream Users. <br /> <br />KENT TURNER <br />LAKE MEAD NRA <br />BOULDER CITY, NV <br />Interstate sale of water rights. While this is not being done <br />at this point, the impact would be severe and negative to <br />the states losing the water. Tribes have many large paper <br />rights which if sold off the reservation could cause a signif- <br />icant loss economic and resource wise to the state econo- <br />my. Perhaps temporary sales in some years would work but <br />there would be no market for water getting there anyway. <br /> <br />DAVE WOOD <br />CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK <br />MOAB, UT <br />As with power, the underpricing of water supply has <br />fueled development and population growth and encour- <br />aged wasteful use of water. The use it or lose it doctrine, <br />also a contributor to this waste, is out of date in an age of <br />over allocated water sources and societal concerns about <br />environmental losses from water development. Water con- <br />servation, water pricing that reflects true costs, and replace- <br />ment of use it or lose it with a cooperative approach are <br />critical priorities. <br /> <br />HAL SIMPSON <br />DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES <br />DENVER, CO <br />Enhancing precipitation. <br /> <br />DONALD K.
