Little Ditch. Big Deal.

State of Colorado

Living off the grid in Colorado's vast San Luis Valley, Chuck and Barbara Tidd needed to find a source of energy to supplement their solar panels. Their solution to use a creek on their property to generate power led to a legal battle that went all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court — where they won. That decision worries some who say the Tidd’s new right could upend water law that goes back 150 years. Frani Halperin and Jamie Sudler of H2O Radio report.

 

Reporting about water issues can, all too often, be painfully dry. H2O Radio is a refreshing exception and a vital fount of information about our most precious resource.
