During the spring of 1987, the San Luis Valley was predicted to receive high flood waters. An effort to divert flood water from the Rio Grande above the communities of Monte Vista and Alamosa was undertaken by local government and private interests. This report will evaluate the use of irrigation ditches for flood control in the San Luis Valley.
