If you live in the western United States this should be required reading.
Most of what people think and believe about water and it’s use in the west is wrong.
I love this book because the author didn’t just fill it with facts and lead the reader to incorrect conclusions as often happens, just to justify an agenda by the author.
In Where The Water Goes, the author traces the Colorado river from high atop the continental divide all the way to Mexico. Each chapter is dedicated to different sections of the river what other rivers feed into it and how the water is used.
The book tries to explain as clearly as possible
How water rights in the west are completely different than anywhere else.
The Law of The River what it is and what it means.
The Colorado River Compact, the upper and lower basins and states and what they are entitled to.
Where Mexico fits in.
How most of the water used in the Colorado front range originated in the other side of the continental divide and how it gets there.
One of the things I liked best is how the author broke down how there are no easy answers, to even what appear to be simple straight forward situations and questions.
This is a truly fascinating book!
