Book excerpt: Colorado—seen as "the" place to ski, the ideal environment to live in, and a source of energy the country needs desperately—is best understood, write the authors of this descriptive and interpretive geography, as part of its regional setting. Water that flows from Colorado's snowfields supplies irrigation water for crops as far away as California. Tourists have a stake in Colorado's environment, as well as its economy. Colorado's vast energy and mineral resources cannot be developed without consideration of the impact on surrounding states. And many aspects of Colorado's future are dependent on influences that come from beyond the state's political boundaries. Colorado, incorporating the most recent (1980) census data and illustrated with more than 200 photographs, tables, and figures, is the only up-to-date geography of the state available. The authors look at Colorado first from the perspective of the physical setting it shares with its neighbors and then examine the interaction of people with the land. They also analyze Colorado's major industries—agriculture, tourism, mining, and manufacturing—and describe such Colorado phenomena as the way population tends to aggregate along the eastern slope of the mountains and how this population concentration has affected agriculture, water use, and industrial development. Numerous examples illustrate the practical workings of the complex interrelationships between Colorado's environment and its inhabitants. The book is designed to serve both as a text for courses in Colorado and Rocky Mountain geography, and as an authoritative source of information about the state for newcomers, as well as long-time residents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As human pressures on land intensify, land-use decisions in response to the new demands become increasingly critical. Thus, the fate of the little-known Running Creek Watershed assumes a broad importance. Running Creek Watershed is a 150-kilometer strip of land lying just east of the rapidly expanding urban corridor of Colorado's front range. The land in the watershed is devoted primarily to the production of food, and includes pasture, dry crop, and irrigated crop operations. Two sources of demand suggest dramatic future changes in this land-use pattern: advancing urbanization, and energy demands for the coal available in a large deposit 25 kilometers east of Denver. In this volume Timothy Tregarthen presents a synthesis of discussions and papers presented at a 1976 conference that focused on the trade-offs implicit in the land-use alternatives of food production, urbanization, and energy development. Sponsored by the Wright-Ingraham Institute, the conference brought together a wide range of scientists, humanists, public officials, representatives of industrial and agricultural organizations, and interested citizens concerned not only about this important regional problem, but about the broader implications of competing land-use needs. Conference participants examined factors important to changes in land use, giving particular attention to the natural, economic, political, and value systems at work on the watershed in terms of how these systems affect and will be affected by changing land-use patterns.

Download or read book A Land Made from Water written by Robert R. Crifasi and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-11-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Land Made from Water chronicles how the appropriation and development of water and riparian resources in Colorado changed the face of the Front Range—an area that was once a desert and is now an irrigated oasis suitable for the habitation and support of millions of people. This comprehensive history of human intervention in the Boulder Creek and Lefthand Creek valleys explores the complex interactions between environmental and historical factors to show how thoroughly the environment along the Front Range is a product of human influence. Author Robert Crifasi examines the events that took place in nineteenth-century Boulder County, Colorado, and set the stage for much of the water development that occurred throughout Colorado and the American West over the following century. Settlers planned and constructed ditches, irrigation systems, and reservoirs; initiated the seminal court decisions establishing the appropriation doctrine; and instigated war to wrest control of the region from the local Native American population. Additionally, Crifasi places these river valleys in the context of a continent-wide historical perspective. By examining the complex interaction of people and the environment over time, A Land Made from Water links contemporary issues facing Front Range water users to the historical evolution of the current water management system and demonstrates the critical role people have played in creating ecosystems that are often presented to the public as “natural” or “native.” It will appeal to students, scholars, professionals, and general readers interested in water history, water management, water law, environmental management, political ecology, or local natural history.
