Scope and Content
This series contains correspondence concerning the Colorado River and the distribution of its water. Utah was one of the four members of the upper basin states. Because of the lower basin reclamation projects, such as the Hoover Dam, the upper basin states were interested in devising their own reclamation plans to assure their share of water as designated in the Colorado River Compact of 1922. This series exhibits the actions taken by state government to safeguard their share of the water. The series contains legislative bills, resolutions, general correspondence, minutes and reports.
