Arkansas River Compact at a glance between Kansas and Colorado
The 1948 Arkansas River Compact between Kansas and Colorado aims to settle disputes and equitably divide waters and benefits from John Martin Reservoir. Kansas filed a 1985 suit to enforce terms, and the Supreme Court in 1995 found Colorado violated the compact, with Colorado paying over 34 million in damages for 1950 to 1999. Kansas monitors compliance annually, reviewing the prior decade. Colorado was compliant for 1998 to 2007. Information from the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
