Harmony seen in Upper Colorado River plan by Clyde
George D Clyde Utah member of the Upper Colorado River Compact Commission said the Cheyenne meeting produced a plan he called Complete Harmony. It envisions distributing storage project power revenues among Upper Basin states by each state’s unused share of Colorado River water and aims to prevent any state from being slowed by others’ progress.
