This book is the product of Justice Hobbs' 34 years of experience as a water and environmental attorney (23 years) and justice of the Colorado Supreme Court (11) years.
The Public's Water Resource is an invaluable compilation of articles and speeches written by Justice Hobbs about how:
- The ancient people of Mesa Verde and the Peruvian highlands coped with cyclical drought and flood through water works construction from 200 B.C. to the 1500s;
- The climate of the Colorado River Basin has shaped the Colorado River Compact and its 85 years of implementation;
- The great river runner John Wesley Powell continues to influence western water law and policy;
- Colorado water law has changed and adapted from irrigation, municipal, and industrial use to instream flows and kayak courses over a period of 145 years;
- 2000 years of water law, history, and culture in the Americas suggests twenty basic elements of a good water policy;
- Water education has become a central feature of civic education in the Americas; and,
- How water quality law protects water use rights.
The book also includes new water poems by Justice Hobbs, plus photographs and diagrams of ancient and contemporary waterworks, landscapes, and hydrographs.
