Metal-mining associated wastes in the Lefthand Creek watershed in Boulder County, Colorado have been implicated as a major source of stream water contamination due to acid generation and toxic metal solubility. This watershed hosts hundreds of now inactive mine openings and dozens of sites of former ore milling. No complete analysis of mine sites or their environmental impacts exists to date. This report documents research and analysis of the sources, transport, and fate of aluminum, copper, iron, lead, manganese, uranium, and zinc in the Lefthand Creek watershed., Alice R.

Hurricane Charley is the first Category 4 hurricane for which 'before' and 'after' satellite imagery is available from very high-resolution systems. From a scientific perspective, it therefore offers a unique opportunity to investigate the use of remote sensing for post-disaster urban damage assessment. This report addresses the actions people took and perceptions people had of the fire during the evacuation period., Title from cover., Mode of access: World Wide Web., This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. CMS-0080977.

"Acequias are unique and longstanding cultural and legal institutions in Colorado. Spanish and Mexican farmers and ranchers who settled here long before Colorado became a state created these systems for irrigation and water sharing that ensure sustainable use of water, and create important community bonds. Despite their long history, which includes acknowledgment in the session laws of the Colorado Territory, it was not until 2009 that acequias received recognition in Colorado state statutes. The 2009 Acequia Recognition Law, which was amended in 2013, allows acequias to continue to exercise their traditional roles in governing community access to water, and also strengthens their ability to protect their water. For acequias in Colorado to take full advantage of the statute, it is necessary to have a set of written bylaws that formalize existing customs and adopt the recently recognized powers. This Handbook was drafted in part to highlight the opportunities presented by the Acequia Recognition Law, as well as to explain the basics of Colorado water law for acequia members and those who work with acequias."--Introduction., [edited by] Jens Jensen, [and six others], Introduction -- Definitions -- Water rights -- Change of water right -- Transfers of water rights -- Water sharing agreements -- Losing your water rights ("use it or lose it") -- Preventing the transfer of water out of the acequia -- Conservation easements -- Governing the acequia -- Assessments -- Easements -- Enforcement -- Tort liability -- Water quality -- The Rio Grande Compact -- Main government water entities -- Where can an acequia get legal assistance? -- Appendix I.
