WELCOME TO THE
WATERS OF THE GREAT DIVIDE
s
you glide over the vast frozen heights of the Great Divide,
observe that the tallest peaks
guard their snow treasure throughout the year.
Below the peaks, however, you will notice
that the warm spring sun has coaxed
precious streams of water from the snow fields,
encouraging its run down the steep slopes to the lush valleys
below.
This land of extremes is the source of
over 75% of the water for Colorado Springs.
he Glider's Province is West of the Continental Divide,
a land carved by streams of icy mountain water.
Although the water flows to the West,
water was needed in the East so Visionaries were sent
to obtain rights and ownership of this water as granted by
the High Courts of Law in the state of Colorado the Colorful.
missaries
of the Courts of the Xeriscape first ventured
to the other side of the Great Divide for "The Blue".
During this enormous undertaking in the years of Nineteen Hundred
and Fifty,
earth and rocks were moved to create reservoirs to store waters
from the Blue River and streams near the
quaint Village of Breckenridge.
he Visionaries
of Colorado Springs joined forces with
the Aurora People from the North to complete
the Homestake Project of the Year Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Seven.
Waters from creeks northwest of the Land of Leadville
feed into this collection system.
ther worthy
water is diverted from the Fryingpan and
Roaring Fork Rivers in the Land of the West,
moved through tunnels and up hills to the heights
of Mt. Elbert where it generates the magic of electricity
before it flows due East or down the River of the Arkansas to
the Reservoir at Pueblo.
The journey of the Fry-Ark Project continues through the
Fountain Valley Conduit to the Courts of the Xeriscape.
The KEEPER has collected the water and is about to begin
the journey to our Land of the Xeriscape.
