  • Characterization of Streamflow Variability Within the Upper Gila River Basin
    Characterization of Streamflow Variability Within the Upper Gila River Basin By Jeremiah Morse Patrick Ostrye Surface Water Hydrology Semester Project Introduction As the human population in the American desert southwest continues to grow, its water resources are becoming increasingly taxed. One of the largest suppliers of surface water to this region is the Colorado River. It is managed and operated under many federal laws, compacts, court decisions, decrees, contracts, and regulatory guidelines know as the Colorado River Compact, or “Law of the River”, which was singed into existence in 1922 by Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover (Reclamation, 2007). These documents give a portion of the water in the Colorado River to seven states and on country, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. In 1944 Arizona (the last state to sign the Colorado River Compact) finally signed the Colorado River Compact. By signing, Arizona was allotted 2.8 million-acre feet of water per year from the lower Colorado River Basin (CAP, 2007). In 1946, because of its water deficit from pumping groundwater, Arizona began educating its citizens and lobbying congress about the need for the Central Arizona Project, known as CAP (figure 1). CAP is designed to bring Colorado River water to Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties through 336 miles of concrete channels, pipelines, tunnels, dams, pumping plants, and siphons (CAP, 2007). This project would also refill the states depleting aquifers (CAP, 2007). A lengthy legal battle between California and Arizona soon took place. Figure 1 (CAP web site, 2007) 2 California argued that Arizona could not develop the full 2.8 million acre feet from the Colorado River it was allotted and also develop the water from the Gila River, saying that using Gila River water was an additional amount of water because it was a tributary of the Colorado River and, therefore, was accounted for in their 2.8 million acre feet (Reclamation, 2007; CAP, 2007).

  • Paleohydrology of the Lower Colorado River Basin and Implications for Water Supply Availability
    Paleohydrology of the Lower Colorado River Basin and Implications for Water Supply Availability Jeffrey J. Lukas Lisa Wade Balaji Rajagopalan October 2012 Completion Report No. 223 Acknowledgements Funding for this project was provided by the Colorado Water Institute, the Colorado River District, the CU-CIRES Western Water Assessment program (itself supported by the NOAA Climate Program Office), and the CU Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (graduate student support for Lisa Wade). Connie Woodhouse and David Meko of the University of Arizona generated several of the tree- ring reconstructions of streamflow described in this report (see Table 1 and related text), and also provided nearly all of the underlying tree-ring data used for this project, having collected them for previous studies. David Kanzer and Eric Kuhn of the Colorado River District provided technical guidance throughout the project, and also provided the basemap for the Colorado River basin shown in Figure 1. Subhrendu Gangopadhyay and Tom Pruitt of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation provided the VIC hydrology model output that was used in comparisons with the naturalized streamflow records. Eric Kuhn of the Colorado River District provided the initial and continuing encouragement for this project. This report was financed in part by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, through the Colorado Water Institute. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.

  • Native Americans and World War II
    Reemergence of the “Vanishing Americans” - Native Americans and World War II “War Department officials maintained that if the entire population had enlisted in the same proportion as Indians, the response would have rendered Selective Service unnecessary.” – Lt.
