The petitioners have been a consortium of environmental groups and neighbors of the project in southern Boulder County who filed a lawsuit in 2018 against Denver Water and the Army Corps of Engineers which approved the project, as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Their primary objections were to drawing water from the headwaters of the Colorado River on other side of the Continental Divide through the Moffat Water Tunnel, clearing the trees as part of the project to enlarge the reservoir, and effects on wildlife, including elk habitat.

While never being labeled as controversial.
Clean energy but the endangered flying pup dog fish might get indigestion so we must protest
Water for Denver and Boulder? Stop the damn! Save the gay whales! I hope they stop it. Those ass clowns in Denver and Boulder impose their radical environmentalist will on the rest of the state, they steal elections, they vote for Democrats at every turn, they rabidly believe in the orgy of immigration, faggotry and sex changes for kiddos hidden from parents, and global warming….
And now they wanna drink a water? Eff em… I hope they parch.

Give them time. Colorado is not fully Kalifornicated yet. When done they will follow their masters on the left coast and drain reservoirs, abolish damns, sell off fire equipment that might be needed for wild fires and maybe even get a high speed rail from Denver to Boulder for an ultra low figure of just a few billion dollars, then each year keep adding to the figure while actual construction is barely visible.
Don’t know about the level particulars but I’m surprised they’re being allowed to tap the headwaters of the Colorado on the other side of the continental divide. That is a severely overdrawn water source already
Gonna be interesting to watch.
Drawing water from the Colorado will decrease the volume going south.
Gonna be hell to pay eventually.
That system is way to small to supply what is needed downstream.
California needs its amount cut, in half.
“ Drawing water from the Colorado will decrease the volume going south.”
I’m surprised Mexico hasn’t sued yet.
I thought they did?
I should have been paying closer attention.⁷
Anyway, this will be interesting especially since Phoenix is facing severe water shortages.
Las Vegas seems to be fine as of now but, all of AZ, aside from the towns along the Colorado, are in trouble.
There are already towns where the wells have dried up.
Kingman AZ, for example, has enough left in its Aquifer for another 50 years or so at present use. Yet they keep building. That leaves one place to get water. The Colorado.
I know there is something called the Colorado river compact that involves Colorado New Mexico Utah Arizona and Nevada. Everyone gets a certain allotment. So I would guess it’s within that allotment. If not, lawsuits are coming.
Reason # 532 to deport the illegals. They increase demand for everything, including water.
Been happening foe 50 years
Lake dillon in summit county is owned by the city and county of denver. If memory serves there are three pipelines that carry water from west of the divide to eastern slope.
As Dick Lamm once said when arizona and nevada and california were squawking about the diversion: It is, afterall called the Colorado River and with that told downstream states in the West to suck it
REMEMBER THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ALASKA PIPELINE?
THE CARIBOU—ETC
TURNS OUT THE CARIBOU WELP THEIR YOUNG BY THE PIPELINE-—IT IS WARMER
I tell everyone. DO NOT, move to AZ for long term reasons.
There is NO FRIGGAN WATER.
Yet, the stupid people, especially Californians, rush in.
Much of Nevada is the same.
Yet they keep building.
Not too many people know that the pipeline is heated. The population of Caribou massively increased.
Finally noticed your tagline. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Succinct and brilliant.
