Horsetooth Reservoir C-BT Sidebar

Horsetooth Reservoir, part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, first held water in 1951. C-BT water originally provided water for irrigation; now agricultural entities use only half of the water annually. Urban users claim the other half. Courtesy of Fort Collins Local History Archive, S01183
