  1. We must put a stop to this plan to move this amount of water just in the name of development. Look at the morass the West is in with the Colorado River that has been dwindled down to a trickle.

    1. Apples and oranges, Anthony. The Colorado River originates in Rocky Mountain National Park near Grand Lake, Colorado, and is 1,450-miles long. It has a huge drainage basin that covers 244,000 square miles and ranks about sixth among the nation’s rivers in flow volume. Some 40 million people in seven states (as well as two states in Mexico) depend on the river for water, which also irrigates 5.5 million agricultural acres of land.
