Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Water Commissioners of the Domestic Water Works System of the City of Los Angeles: For the Fiscal Year Ending November 30, 1902 With the approach of winter and the consequent decrease in the demand for water, we shall manage to get along for the next six months without in convenience to the inhabitants of districts that feel the effects of an inadequate pipe capacity, and it is expected that with the completion of the work now laid out and provided for in the recent contracts let, the work of fortifying the system with large mains will have progressed so far by next summer as to provide an ample supply even in the remotest districts. With this accomplished, our successors can turn their attention to the carrying out of some of the recommendations of the recently submitted plans for the comprehensive improvement of the works, especially that of the con struction of the Main Supply Conduit and Ivanhoe Storage Reservoir.

Book Description
The diversion of water from Colorado’s Western Slope to meet the needs of the rest of the state has been a contentious issue throughout Colorado’s history. The source of Colorado’s water is in the snow that accumulates west of the Continental Divide, but the ever-growing population on the Front Range continues to require more municipal water. In As Precious as Blood, Steven C. Schulte examines the water wars between these two regions and how the western part of the state fits into Colorado’s overall water story, expanding the account of water politics he began in Wayne Aspinall and the Shaping of the American West. Slow to build its necessary water infrastructure and suffering from a small population, little political power, and distance from sources of capital, the Western Slope of Colorado has struggled to maintain its water supply in the face of challenges from the Eastern Slope as well as from surrounding states. Schulte explains in detail the reasons, rationalizations, and resources involved in the multimillion-dollar dams and reclamation projects that divert much-needed water to the Front Range and elsewhere. He draws from archives, newspapers, and oral histories to show the interrelationships among twentieth-century Colorado water law, legislators from across the state, and powerful members of congress from the Western Slope, who have influenced water policy throughout the American West. As Precious as Blood provides context for one of the most contentious legal, political, and economic periods in the state’s history. Schulte puts a human face on Colorado’s water wars by exploring their social and political dimensions alongside the technical and scientific perspectives.
