On May 15, 1995 the Supreme Court handed down its opinion in the case of Kansas v. Colorado, 1995 WL 283477 (U.S.). At issue was how the Arkansas River Compact (C.R.S. § 37-69-101; or Kan. Stat. Ann. § 82A-520 or 63 Stat. 145, 1949) would be applied between the two states. The Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Special Master that well pumping in Colorado has caused material depletion to the usable flow of the Arkansas River and that well pumping has to be regulated.
