Abstract

Complet title :

"THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF PRESSURIZED DUAL WATER SYSTEMS IN COLORADO
AND THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF CANAL COMPANIES AND IRRIGATION DISTRICTS IN PROVIDING THE PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY PORTION OF 
DUAL SYSTEMS"


The study focused on the potential role of traditional agricultural water suppliers (i.e. canal companies and irrigation districts) in developing, operating and maintaining secondary systems around the state. The study drew heavily upon important innovations in secondary systems occurring in other areas of the Rocky Mountain region.

A major conclusion was that there is an important connection between the involvement of traditional agricultural water suppliers in providing secondary water service and the strengthening of the economic position of irrigated agriculture in the state.

A second important conclusion is that the involvement of canal companies and irrigation districts in the provision of pressurized untreated water is an important drought mitigation strategy for the state.
