    . -~ BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DEVELOPMENT IN COLORADO Colorado's Centennial Year finds 10 Bureau of Reclamation water and land resource development projects in the state completed or under construction. The developments are the Uncompahgre, Grand Valley, Fruitgrowers Dam, Colorado-Big Thompson, Pine River, Mancos, San Luis Valley, Paonia, and Collbran Projects, and the St. Francis Unit of the Missouri River Basin Project. Eight of the projects made available in 1957 full water supplies to 97, 694 acres and supplemental supplies to 781, 647 acres. (Data on the San Luis Valley Project are not available and the1 Collbran Project is under con­ struction.) The gross value of the crops produced on the eight projects in 1957 totaled $81, 495, 163. In the same year, more than 12, 000 farms and 282, 000 persons were served with water from the projects. Seven powerplants on the projects have a total in­ stalled capacity of 186, 9 50 kilowatts. The following are summary descriptions of the projects. Uncompahgre Project (Gunnison, Delta, and Montrose Counties)--This is the earliest project constructed by the Bureau in Colorado. Construction began in .July 1904, and first water for irrigation was made available during the season of 1908. Project lands, which obtain water dive rted from the Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers, surround the town of Montrose, and extend along both sides of the Uncompahgre River to Delta, a dis­ tance of 34 miles. Features include the Taylor Park Dam and Reservoir, the 5. 8-mile­ long Gunnison Tunnel, 7 diversion dams, 143 miles of main canals, 425 miles of later­ als, and 215 miles of drains.

Brigham Young, as quoted by, Richard E Bennett, “Winter Quarters,” Ensign, 40-53 “In all its history, the American West never saw a more unlikely band of pioneers than the four hundred-odd who were camped on the bank of the Iowa River at Iowa City in early June, 1856. There were more women than men, more children under fifteen than either. One in every ten was past fifty, the oldest a woman of seventy-eight; there were widows and widowers with six or seven children. Most of them, until they were herded from their crowded immigrant ship and loaded into the cars and rushed to the end of the Rock Island Line and dumped on the brink of the West, had never pitched a tent, slept on the ground, cooked outdoors, built a campfire. They had not even the rudimentary skills that make frontiersmen. But it turned out, that they had the stuff that makes heroes”.

On January 30, 1978, a reorganization within the U.S. Department of the Interior resulted in BOR being restructured and renamed the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS). On March 27, 1978, study responsibility was transferred from HCRS to the National Park Service. The draft environmental statement was prepared by HCRS and cleared by the U.S. Department of the Interior prior to March 27, 1978. Final revisions and publication of both the draft environmental statement, as well as this document have been the responstbility of the National Park Service.

    This is a transcribed copy of a handwritten journal, written in a “University Notebook”, dated and signed by Richard Ballantyne. It is available on microfilm at the following address: Church Archives, Family and Church History Department 15 East North Temple Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84150 Manuscript MS 7151 3-4 (vol. 1 & vol. 2) Footnotes for clarification and additional family history information have been added by the transcriber, M. Dee Humpherys. Some transcription was done by the staff of the Church History Library. Some minor editing for punctuation and spelling has been done. Bold face on text in the body of the manuscript indicates text underlined by Richard for emphasis. 1895 Reminiscences of Richard Ballantyne [4th Account] Ogden City, Utah 12 February 1895 Having only in the past written quite imperfectly regarding my biography, or ancestry, I now make a fresh attempt to revise and supplement past efforts: And hope my health, with the blessings of God, will enable me to compile, in order, the scraps I have formerly written, and will mark this tablet No. 1 of the Series. The journals I wrote while on a mission to India (or Hindustan) are quite full in detail, and I will consequently not rewrite them. But as they, on account of frequent sickness, do not contain some matters of much importance, I will include such omissions in this memoranda. s/ Richard Ballantyne Chapter 1 Beginning with my ancestry I here state that my father’s name was David Ballantyne. He was born in the year 1743 and died in 18291 being then 86 years of age.

Members of the Gunnison Basin WRoundtable - citizens like you - say you can no longer afford that excuse. Colorado is launching into a multi-generational water planning process; this is a challenge with many technical aspects, but the heart of it is a ‘problem in democracy’: given the primacy of water to all life, will we help shape our own future?

  • Case Studies for Those Considering Agricultural Water Conservation in the Colorado River Basin
    CASE STUDIES FOR THOSE CONSIDERING AGRICULTURAL WATER CONSERVATION IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN • Arizona • California • Colorado • Nevada • New Mexico • Utah • Wyoming • Multi-state Projects within the Colorado River Basin • Projects outside the Colorado River Basin INTRODUCTION • Moving Forward on Agricultural Water Conservation in the Colorado River Basin is a USDA-NIFA funded project of the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University • These case studies have been compiled to demonstrate where and how water has been developed in the Colorado River Basin to meet agricultural needs, what changes have been made (or proposed) in those uses to meet different challenges, and how obstacles were addressed. • To help those considering such changes visualize what can be done, some case studies from outside the Colorado River Basin are included. INTRODUCTION • Through a comprehensive literature review, we have produced 78 case studies across the western United States, as well as one international case study, that shed light on various ways water has been diverted for agricultural use and how that water has been managed and its use changed over time to meet both agricultural and other objectives. • We have categorized the case studies into three general types: • Original water resources development projects: The original projects that made it possible to use river water for agriculture through such means as diversion and storage. • Programs and regulations: The local, regional, statewide, and basin-wide processes and programs that have been instituted to better manage the water for purposes such as improving agricultural productivity, meeting endangered species and water quality goals, and conjunctively using groundwater and surface water.

I begin by examining the origins of the US Mormon Mission to Britain and a social historical study of the Staffordshire religious and industrial landscape. In order to recover the hidden voices of Staffordshire Mormon converts, I have constructed a unique Staffordshire Mormon Database for the purposes of this thesis containing over 1,900 records. This is drawn upon throughout, providing the primary quantitative evidence for this fascinating yet neglected new religious movement. From the data I explore the demographic composition of Staffordshire Mormonism using a more precise definition of class than has been the case previously, whilst also considering gender and
