• Title: RGDSS - Rio Grande Historic Crop Consumptive Use Analysis
• Description: The documentation is for the Rio Grande Basin Historic Crop Consumptive Use Analysis, developed during the RGDSS implementation for the period 1950 through 2002. It includes 100 percent of the crop consumptive use in the basin for the period. Documentation consists of the final Historic Crop Consumptive Use Analysis Report and supporting appendices.
