From The Greeley Tribune:

The “handling” of the water in northern Colorado will be the topic of a presentation Wednesday night by Brian Werner of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. He will talk of the change from the Great American Desert to one of the state’s largest agricultural areas, and of the people who worked to bring it about…

The program will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Centennial Library, 2227 23rd Ave. in Greeley. It will be sponsored by the Northeastern Colorado Heritage League, and is free to all members and anyone else who would like to learn more about how this area’s history was affected by water.
