This study deals with two related questions: (1) how does the economic base of Denver city and county Influence city government, especially as regards revenue and expenditure, and (2) how does (and can) city government influence the economic base to bring about desired community goals? The main finding of this study is that greater concern with local government policies designed to encourage or discourage (or both) business-economic activity is justified and could well be rewarded with beneficial results., Charles P.

Several studies demonstrate that the hydrographs of many western rivers are changing in response to climate change, with one of the most pronounced changes being earlier runoff. This trend is most pronounced in low elevation basins. For example, in many basins of the Pacific Northwest, annual spring snowmelt is now occurring more than 20 days earlier than a half-century ago. This trend is less evident in high elevation watersheds, but even in those locations, continued global warming is expected to eventually modify streamflow patterns. Coincident with these changes are shifts in the timing and magnitude of water demands. The "water rights and climate change" project is focused on how changes in the timing of spring snowmelt does or does not create problems in the administration of western (prior appropriation) surface water rights that are defined in part with respect to seasonal characteristics, either generally through terms such as "irrigation season" rights, or more specifically in rights that use explicit calendar dates to describe the start and end of diversion (or storage) seasons., "Western Water Assessment working paper : water rights and climate change project.", Includes bibliography pages 9-10., Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 2020)

The paper reviews the potential for administrative problems/disputes associated with western prior appropriation water rights in those sub-regions experiencing increasingly early spring snowmelt and the lengthening of growing seasons. In those areas, potential problems of two general types are envisioned. First, in those states that link water rights to specific calendar dates (that are becoming increasingly out-of-step with natural hydrographs), the yield and/or utility of those rights increasingly out-of-step with natural hydrographs), the yield and/or utility of those rights can theoretically become increasingly devalued. Second, in states that do not attempt to limit the exercise of rights to specific dates, water consumption under a given right may increase, thereby threatening the yield and reliability of other (particularly more junior) users., Douglas Kenney [and four others], "Final Project Report (review draft): September 3, 2008.", Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed May 2020)
