Abstract
In the fourth report in the case of Kansas v. Colorado (No. 105, Original, U.S. Supreme Court), regarding compliance with the Arkansas River Compact, the Special Master hearing the case recommended specific changes by which Arkansas River streamflow depletions at the Colorado-Kansas Stateline are determined. One of the major changes was the recommendation to move away from the modified Blaney-Criddle method and adopt a reference crop evapotranspiration-mean crop coefficient approach to determine crop consumptive use estimates for input to the computer model used to determine compact compliance. This paper discusses some of the steps the State of Colorado has taken to comply with this recommendation.
