Managing the Colorado River
1999 Symposium Proceedings
In 1999, the Foundation held its second Colorado River Symposium, Managing the Colorado River: Past, Present and Future. This two-and-a-half-day event brought together 110 top policy-makers and leading stakeholders from the seven states that share the Colorado River, American Indian tribes, Mexico, environmental groups and the federal government to discuss ways these diverse interests can work together to address the many challenges facing the Colorado River. The 158-page proceedings features the panel presentations on such topics as how the role of the Interior Secretary has changed, how to balance environmental and human needs, water marketing, U.S.-Mexico border issues, and how to meet the needs of the 21st century. A vital resource for universities, libraries, law schools and a must-have for the serious Colorado River scholar.
