Water users assn. urges protection of water rights Philipsburg The Montana Water Users Association is on record op posing the proposed Federal Knowles Project in Western Montana because of what it be lieves could be resulting adverse claims against Montanas’ in terests by downstream users and upstream by the Bureau of Re clamation. Tlie association advocated an aggressive water development program to protect Montana’s water rights through beneficial use of water in Montana, point ing out that water is essential and stabilization of the largest industry in the state—agricul ture. The Bureau of Reclamation has claimed all unappropriated water above Canyon Ferry dam, which the association saw as a “dangerous precedent” that in all probability would be followed if addditional multi-purpose fed eral projects are constructed. The association also pointed out that impounding Montana water leading to beneficial use downstream “will result in the loss of the water for the devel opment of Montana’s agricul tural resources.” Development of a more agres sive water development pro gram through the State Water Conservation Board, the state engineer’s offifee and other apropriate departments or or ganizations was advocated.
