The Colorado River Compact provides a comprehensive legal and political analysis of one of the most critical agreements in the history of the American West. Focusing on the landmark 1922 compact, Reuel Leslie Olson examines the intricate negotiations and the complex framework established to distribute the water of the Colorado River among seven basin states.

The work delves into the constitutional issues, administrative challenges, and the specific legal mechanisms required to balance state interests with federal oversight. Through a detailed investigation of the compact's provisions, Olson highlights the economic necessity of water management in arid regions and its direct impact on regional development, agriculture, and urban growth.
