Trans-Mountain Diversions in Colorado
More than one-half the 103 658 sq. miles comprising the area of Colorado are within the Rocky Mountain region. The eastern part of the State lies within the province of the Great Plains, which extend from the front range of the Rockies to the Missouri River. Irrigation has been practiced in this region for many years, and the area of irrigable land is limited only by the water supply. The sources of this supply are the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers and their numerous tributaries, which rise on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. With the present supply the limit of irrigation on the plains has almost been reached (except for the increased re-use of return seepage water).
