The Colorado River and its tributaries constitute one of the greatest potential assets of the United States. Already serving more than 2 000 000 acres of farm land with irrigation water, it will eventually serve treble that area. It drains parts of seven States and flows for more than 100 miles on Mexican soil. Before the building of railroads, it was navigated for more than 400 miles, and although now mainly abandoned by navigators, it is still navigable. This, and its interstate and international character, makes its problems peculiarly national.
