Engineered Eden -- Go take it from the mountain -- Water development: the plot thickens -- Dealing in diversions -- A horrifying jigsaw puzzle: the uncertain course of the rivers of empire -- No country for old habits: foothills, two forks, and the revision of the future -- Chipping away at tradition: the riddle of change and continuity at Denver Water, 1991-2011.
Tracing the origins and growth of the Denver Water Department, this study of water and its unique role and history in the West, as well as in the nation, raises questions about the complex relationship among cities, suburbs, and rural areas, allowing us to consider this precious resource and its past, present, and future with both optimism and realism.
