Scope and Contents
The lower Colorado River provides water for domestic and irrigation uses in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California, and New Mexico. From 1994 to 2003, Jensen evaluated the Lower Colorado River Accounting System, a water budget created in 1980 to calculate streamflow depletion and agricultural consumptive use using computers and satellite imagery to determine the distribution of river water to individual diverters. This series consists of correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, drafts, photographs, computer disks, and references used by Jensen while researching water usage along the lower Colorado River. The series is arranged in rough chronological order by binder and folder. Most material in this series was previously housed in three-ring binders. In the inventory, sections from binders are listed below their respective binder title. For clarity, some titles were taken from the inventory list provided by Dr. Jensen, not the actual binder spine or divider label.
