Download or read book Water and Agriculture in Colorado and the American West written by David Stiller and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water has always been one of the American West’s most precious and limited resources. The earliest inhabitants—Native Americans and later Hispanics—learned to share the region’s scant rainfall and snowmelt. When Euro-Americans arrived in the middle of the nineteenth century, they brought with them not only an interest in large-scale commercial agriculture but also new practices and laws about access to, and control of, the water essential for their survival and success. This included the concept of private rights to water, a critical resource that had previously been regarded as a communal asset. David Stiller’s thoughtful study focuses on the history of agricultural water use of the Rio Grande in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. After surveying the practices of early farmers in the region, he focuses on the impacts of Euro-American settlement and the ways these new agrarians endeavored to control the river. Using the Rio Grande as a case study, Stiller offers an informed and accessible history of the development of practices and technologies to store, distribute, and exploit water in Colorado and other western states, as well as an account of the creation of water rights and laws that govern this essential commodity throughout the West to this day. Stiller’s work ranges from meticulously monitored fields of irrigated alfalfa and potatoes to the local and state water agencies and halls of Congress. He also includes perceptive comments on the future of western water as these arid states become increasingly urbanized during a period of worsening drought and climate change. An excellent read for anyone curious about important issues in the West, Water and Agriculture in Colorado and the American West offers a succinct summary and analysis of Colorado’s use of water by agricultural interests, in addition to a valuable discussion of the past, present, and future of struggles over this necessary and endangered resource.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunny San Luis: A Complete Description of This Great Agricultural Empire, With Illustrations of the Methods of Irrigation The writer of this little book desires to put himself on record. He wishes the reader to know that every statement made in the following pages is honestly made, and that this is a plain, tin-rhetorical, un-imagin ative recital of facts. The space allotted is too lnnited, and the subject discussed too vast to allow of literary embellishment, althouah the grandeur of the scenery, the salubrity of the climate, the manifold at tractions of the sunny San Luis valley afford a tempting field for glowing description. But those who are looking earnestly about them fora new home, where industry can accomplish a competence, and a competence can grow into enlarged prosperity, do not care to read glowing descriptions what they want is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. They want to know where to find a country whose climate is salubrious, whose soil is productivefwhose markets are good, whose schools are well organized, Whose society is honorable, industrious, law-abiding and hos pitable, and where a poor man can establish a prosperous home or a man with capital nnd opportunities to increase his store. If such a country exists there are thousands of people who want to know it. They want to know where it is, and they want to know with as much particularity as possible all the facts about it. It is a matter of material interest to them and not an affair of idealism or literary speculation. The writer knows this and he proposes to gratify this natural and proper desire. He knows that the great San Luis valley of Colorado amply fulfills all the require ments enumerated and he has no other wish than to tell in plain language what he knows to be true. He has no especial axe of his own to grind. His only object is to place the facts before his readers as succinctly as he can and so to fortify his statement with official statistics that even the most skeptical must be convinced that nothing has been exaggerated and nothing set down with unconsidered and incautious enthusiasm. This is plain talk, and it is the intention that this entire book shall be simply a plain talk on a great subject, a live subject, a subject of the most vital in terest, a subject that appeals to earnest, honest, industrious men and women, and nothing but self condemnation and public disapproval could be the reward of the writer who should distort or exaggerate the facts. Hoping to have established friendly relations with the reader, and that the following pages will be perused with care and confidence, this book is submitted as an honest description of the Sunny San Luis valley.
