- catalog abstract "In this first book-length discussion of Utah's water policies, contributors offer a comprehensive assessment of the political impact of water in the nation's second driest state. After examining the historical background, individual scholars focus on the Central Utah Project (CUP), the principal legislative plan for streamlining economic growth and demands on water resources in the state. Their analysis concentrates on four "water imperatives"--Economics, environmental impact, social and cultural impact, and the question of fairness and equity when dividing this valuable resource. The authors describe the debate over priorities for water use, with agriculture, tourism, and urban development groups each staking a claim for their particular needs. They then examine in detail the various potential sources of water, proper maintenance of those sources, and effective methods for using water efficiently and conserving it. A concluding section places Utah water politics within the national context and discusses forthcoming state and national legislation that will affect Utah's water resources. This book should prove invaluable to general readers and policymakers alike who wish to learn more about Utah's water politics in anticipation of critical forthcoming legislative debates on these issues.".
