      In a wide ranging and mostly forward-looking book acknowledging the 100thÌýanniversary of the Colorado River Compact, this chapter revisits the evolution of the Law of the River over that span, and the incremental steps takenÌýto increasingly divide the river and its users into discrete pieces and constituencies. ÌýA consequence of this history is seen in the modern difficulty in scaling back consumption of the increasingly limited water, all overlain by the challenge of reconciling what is equitableÌýwith what promises and commitments have alreadyÌýbeen made.
