It vas prQpared by the Colorado Water Resources <br /> <br />Research Institute to assist legislators, policy makers, a.nd l.I'ater <br /> <br />resources planners and managers to better understand ~recific problems <br /> <br />Bnd issues. <br /> <br />The most predictable feature of w3ter policy at the prC6ent time <br /> <br />is change. Changes are occurring in the demands on water ~upplies. <br /> <br />in the values people place on ~ater resources and alRO in th~ <br /> <br />institutional and legal foundations of public water ~dmini5trat1on. <br /> <br />This era of change emphasizes ""Jter resources ndmlnlstratlon nnd <br /> <br />maflagemf'nt rather thAn Y'atcr resourceR prc>ject development.
