Western Water For Sale

If you live in the west, and don’t have your head in the sand, you have at least some understanding that water is a big deal. A recent twist on water in the west is its growing role as a commodity to be invested in, bought and sold regardless of history or local needs. Read an excellent January 28, 2021 article by Jason Blevins in The Colorado Sun and a January 3 article on page 1A of the Denver Post on water as an investment rather than a critical need for survival. The importance of water also is evident in an article in the January Winter Park Times on the legal win for the Windy Gap Reservoir.
