WATER RIGHTS ON PLATTE
Agricultural Depar msnt Issues Report on
Is Investigations,
IRRIGATION FOR TWO MILLION ACRES
Some Peculiar Facts Brought Out IN
Regard 10 Eject of Taking water
from stream for Purposes
of Irrigation,
IRRIGATION FOR TWO MILLION ACR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a report
giving the results of an investigation OF
interwater rights on the Platte river and
| its tributaries and dealing with the water
| right problems on this stream in the states
OF Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.
The issues dealt with in this bulletin
are similar to those now being litigated
in the United States supreme court with
respect to the water of the Arkansas river.
They comprise the relation between
riparian rights and those acquired by APP
preparation in the same state and the re-
lation between appropriations rights in the
different states. The report says:
The Platte river and its tributaries irri-
gate l,99i,t63 acres of land. Some of the
best farming land sells for $500, and none
that is irrigated sells for less than $40 an
acre. Fifty years ago this land was re-
worthless. II the right to use water in
irrigation were taken away from 1t, 1t
would be practically Valueless today.
More than 10000 people live in the irri-
! gated territory on this stream. Not all
of them depend on agriculture. The cities
of Denver, Cheyenne. Laramie, North
! Platte and score of other towns with
their machine shops, flour mills, paper
mills. beet sugar factories and transporta-
portance of water, because not a city or
town, a factory or railway can be as
,
OF this stream without securing right
! thereto through a definite legal pro-
! cedure.
| The value of water rights for irrigation
! has risen from 81 an acre to $50 an acre,
and stored water sells for even higher
| prices. Water to irrigate an acre of land
1 has been sold for SIS year
The average flow OF water in the South
| Platte and its tributaries Is 2765 cubic feet
per second. Against this supply, rights to
/ 3O5g7 cubic feet per second have been es-
| tablished in Colorado and Nebraska. The
| area irrigated from the North Platte and
! its tributaries is about 100000 acres. In
! Nebraska riparian rights are recognized,
! as well as rights of appropriation. Being
/ inherent in the land, the first named do
| not require any legal procedure for their
, establishment
The measurements of the water used
| and the water returned to this stream
/ brine out the fact that a large percentage
/ Of the water diverted by particular canal
| is not wholly lost, but returns to the
stream and is used over and over again.
| Some of the measurements showed that
| in low water the return seepage tends TO
increase the flow OF streams rather than
1 diminish #
