I think Colorado looks pretty good on this map. The Southeast - not so good.

Rainwater Harvesting and Colorado State Water Law

Article in the LA Times about rainwater harvesting in Colorado.

...according to the state of Colorado, the rain that falls on Holstrom's property is not hers to keep. It should be allowed to fall to the ground and flow unimpeded into surrounding creeks and streams, the law states, to become the property of farmers, ranchers, developers and water agencies that have bought the rights to those waterways.

Finding Atlantis

Interesting description of how the ocean floor is mapped.

Some have speculated that these are the plow marks of seafloor farming by aliens. If there really are little green men hiding somewhere, the ocean's not a bad place to do it. Mars, Venus, the moon, and even some asteroids are mapped at far higher resolution than our own oceans (the global map of Mars is about 250 times as accurate as the global map of our own ocean).
