Kansas Water Loss Allegations At Supreme Court Drama
Kansas argues before the U S Supreme Court that Colorado irrigation has deprived Kansas of underflow and that up to 4000 cubic feet per second is diverted during irrigation, claiming damages of at least 75 million over fifteen years and urging a fair share of the Arkansas River. Colorado contends flow remains steady and that irrigation serves national development.
