Vernal Water Compact Approved Amid Conference Stalemate
Federal representative Harry W. Bashore presided as the Vernal pact reached tentative terms in June to curb interstate water overuse. The original 1922 Colorado River signing at Santa Fe set apportions, now adjusted to prevent any state storing water beyond its yearly allotment in dry years. Utah and Wyoming clashed six days, Wyoming seeking full storage first. Ratification by state legislatures and Congress remains required before enactment. The agreement assigns Colorado 51.75 percent, New Mexico 11.25 percent, Utah 23 percent, Wyoming 0.14 percent, and Arizona 50,000 acre feet to be shared among others.
